TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said that he has already seen several individuals who have registered as candidates for the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). He mentioned that they are still waiting for more qualified candidates to register.
"Maybe we are still waiting for other, more qualified individuals to enter. I see that most of them are not proficient yet," Purbaya told reporters at the House of Representatives complex on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Registration for the OJK Board of Commissioners is open from February 11 to March 2, 2026.
President Prabowo previously appointed Purbaya as the Chair of the Selection Committee. The other eight members of the committee are Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo, BI Deputy Governor Aida S. Budiman, Deputy Minister of Finance Suahasil Nazara, Deputy Minister of State Secretariat Bambang Eko Suhariyanto, Director General of Legal Affairs and Legislation of the Ministry of Law Dhahana Putra, constitutional law expert Muhammad Rullyandi, and graphology expert Gusti Aju Dewi.
The candidates will fill three positions in OJK. These positions are the Chair of the Board of Commissioners, concurrently a Member; the Vice Chair of the Board of Commissioners, concurrently a Member; and the Chief Executive of the Capital Market, Derivatives and Carbon Market Supervisory Agency, concurrently a Member.
Candidates must meet general requirements, including being an Indonesian citizen, having good manners, morals, and integrity. Additionally, candidates must meet the registration requirements and specific provisions as announced in the registration announcement Number PENG-1/PANSEL-DKOJK/2026 on the official websites of the Ministry of Finance and Bank Indonesia.
Previously, four members of the OJK Board of Commissioners collectively resigned from their positions on Friday evening, January 30, 2026. This decision was made after the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) had fallen for several days. The officials who resigned were OJK Board of Commissioners Chair, Mahendra Siregar; Chief Executive of the Capital Market, Derivatives and Carbon Market Supervisory Agency, Inarno Djajadi; Deputy Commissioner for Supervision of Issuers, Securities Transactions, Special Examinations, Derivatives, and Carbon Markets, I.B.
