"This is our shared task, with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) as the motor. In difficult times, supervision should not be slack because weak supervision will open gaps and opportunities for various modes of financial crime, which will ultimately harm the community," he said.
Jokowi said that while 2021 was a year full of uncertainty and complexity of problems, 2022 would be a momentum to improve economic stability and obtain a well-maintained financial system.

The President also explained that the prolonged pandemic had inflicted deep wounds on certain sectors and disrupted the global supply chain.
"We must continue to monitor the scarcity of food, energy, rising inflation, and rising prices because they will definitely have an impact on our country," he said.
Policies and supervisory instruments issued by the OJK must be able to prevent the widespread impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly on the economy and the financial sector, he added.
"They must also help the informal sector and MSMEs, so they can survive and hopefully grow with various innovations and breakthroughs," he said. (tan/mcr20/jpnn)
