OJK Chair Comments on Alleged Corruption Case Investigation

Friderica Widyasari Dewi, Chair of Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK), has addressed the ongoing investigation into alleged corruption involving social program funds, specifically those related to Bank Indonesia (BI) and the OJK. Speaking after a meeting with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) leadership on Thursday, June 18, 2026, Dewi stated that the case was not on the agenda for discussion.

"We did not discuss the case," Dewi told reporters after the working meeting held at the KPK's headquarters in Jakarta. She emphasized that the OJK supports the KPK's efforts to handle the matter, aiming to bolster the credibility of the financial services sector. The OJK has deferred the handling of the alleged corruption case to the KPK, expressing confidence in their ability to manage it effectively.

Dewi further elaborated that the meeting focused on strengthening cooperation between the KPK and OJK. Key areas of collaboration include enhancing integrity, promoting good governance, and eradicating corruption within the financial services sector, given both institutions' supervisory roles. This partnership aims to ensure the sector remains robust and trustworthy.

Looking ahead, the collaboration between the KPK and OJK will extend beyond case handling to encompass corruption prevention and education initiatives. "We have agreed with KPK Chairman Mr. Setyo Budiyanto that if there is a case, it will be handled jointly and synergistically between the KPK and OJK," Dewi confirmed. This proactive approach signifies a commitment to tackling corruption comprehensively.
