The Indonesia Financial Services Authority published a press release on Sultan Muda Fair 2026 in Palembang, an initiative run with the South Sumatra provincial government to strengthen digital financial literacy and inclusion among young people while supporting entrepreneurship. In remarks at the event, OJK's executive head for financial sector technology innovation, digital financial assets and crypto assets said the focus is on building understanding of safe and responsible digital financial innovation and on ensuring young users can access financial services and use them wisely, productively and with consumer protection in place. The program is being reinforced through the 100,000 Sultan Muda Program and the launch of the Sultan Muda Sumsel Center at OJK's South Sumatra office as a hub for collaboration, education, curation and acceleration for young entrepreneurs. Activities at the fair included a digital financial literacy and young entrepreneur summit, a digital creative workshop, an SME expo, and the soft launch of Sultan Muda Credit to widen access to formal financing for young people and productive MSMEs.
