The Indonesia Financial Services Authority (OJK) used its International Webinar for Global Money Week 2026 to call for stronger financial literacy for young people through financial education in the formal education system, including integration into curricula, to build early financial awareness and resilience. OJK executive Dicky Kartikoyono framed financial literacy as needing to translate into “financial health”, combining knowledge with resilience and practical decision-making, and argued this requires sustained collaboration between regulators, educators, industry and communities as well as initiatives beyond classrooms via digital platforms and national campaigns. OECD/INFE Chair Magda Bianco highlighted that early financial competence can help individuals navigate new investment instruments and non-credible information sources, reduce socio-economic gaps, and improve resilience to shocks including fraud risks, over-indebtedness and poor investment decisions; the event formed part of GMW 2026 under the theme “Smart Money Talks” and drew around 3,000 participants.
