Indonesia Financial Services Authority holds SEPMT 2025 at University of Jember to promote smart investing and warn against illegal offers

Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) published an update on its Integrated Capital Market Socialisation and Education programme (SEPMT) 2025 in Jember, including a hybrid public lecture at the University of Jember aimed at encouraging students to start investing while remaining vigilant against illegal investment offers. In the lecture, OJK’s Chief Executive for Capital Market, Derivative Finance and Carbon Exchange Supervision, Inarno Djajadi, urged students to study investment instruments carefully, avoid “FOMO”-driven decisions, and align investments with their financial capacity, stressing that investing is not gambling and should be based on understanding company fundamentals. OJK cited 18.5 million capital market investors (SID) in Indonesia, with 54% under age 30, and reported Jember Regency has around 113,000 capital market investors, the third-highest in East Java. SEPMT 2025 in Jember runs on 13–15 October 2025 with the Self-Regulatory Organizations Bursa Efek Indonesia, Kliring Penjaminan Efek Indonesia and Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia, and also includes a training-of-trainers programme on Islamic capital markets for lecturers, preachers and educators, with 1,300 participants across the series. As part of the same programme, a session on 15 October 2025 will focus on the capital market as an alternative source of corporate funding, including an introduction to securities crowdfunding, with 150 micro, small and medium-sized enterprise participants in Jember.
