TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) recently launched the OJK International Center for Micro Finance and Financial Inclusion (OJK-Proksi). OJK Chairman Muliaman D. Hadad said that OJK-Proksi is expected to answer various challenges faced in developing micro-financing sector and financial inclusion.
"We know that one of the main issues is high interest rate for micro finance, we will find a solution. Not only for the national scale, but also international," Muliaman said during the OJK-Proksi launching event on Tuesday, March 15, 2016.
OJK-Proksi, Muliaman explained, is also expected to encourage the creation of "new breakthrough not only in terms of concept, but also applicable in all financial institutions, including cooperatives" to increase financial literacy and public knowledge.
In addition, OJK hoped that financial institutions could also help in increasing financial inclusion by providing products that can be accessed by the public.
The OJK-Proksi launching event was also accompanied by an international seminar titled "Bringing Indonesia's Microfinance and Financial Inclusion to the World".
