Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) published a press release on the opening of the Festival Ekonomi Keuangan Digital Indonesia and Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo (FEKDI x IFSE) 2025, co-hosted with Bank Indonesia and the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, framing the event as a platform to speed up Indonesia’s digital economy and digital finance transformation. OJK Chair Mahendra Siregar highlighted that the push is aimed at more inclusive access, greater service efficiency, and stronger public trust, alongside a focus on keeping the digital finance ecosystem safe, adaptive, and inclusive. The update points to a supervisory shift toward data- and technology-based regulation and oversight, including the use of supervisory technology (SupTech), cross-sector data integration, and closer collaboration with fiscal and monetary authorities and industry. Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo emphasised cross-agency and industry collaboration as a precondition for faster digital transformation, while Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto set out a 2045 ambition for the digital economy’s contribution to increase more than ninefold, reaching 15.5 to 19.6 percent of GDP, supported by the National Digital Economy Strategy 2030 White Paper and the National Council for Financial Inclusion (DNKI); the SNLIK 2025 survey cited financial inclusion at 92.74 percent and literacy at 66.64 percent. FEKDI x IFSE 2025 runs from 30 October to 1 November 2025 and includes seminars, talkshows and an expo featuring regulators, industry, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and government bodies, with sessions covering ITSK policy, digital payments, literacy and consumer protection, plus consultations with OJK and Bank Indonesia, networking, a hackathon pitch and QRIS onboarding.
