Jakarta –
Chairman of the Board of Commissioners (DK) of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Mahendra Siregar opened his voice regarding two People’s Economic Banks (BPR) voluntarily asking to be closed. The request was submitted to the OJK due to a lack of capital.
Mahendra assessed that the BPR decision was part of the process of structuring and consolidating the banking industry, especially the BPR sector.
“We see that this is a request for self-liquidation as a normal process and is actually part of the restructuring and consolidation of the BPR industry. So that BPR will be more efficient and resilient to the shocks and demands that will be needed in the future,” said Mahendra at the Bank Indonesia Office, Jakarta, Monday (3/11/2025).

A week earlier, OJK revoked BPR Artha Kramat‘s business license at the request of shareholders for the same reason
Mahendra assessed that in order to withstand future shocks and challenges, strengthening BPR must be supported by various aspects, both from the regulatory and supervisory side.
Mahendra hopes that the role of BPR management and owners will be more optimal and improve the implementation of governance, risk management and compliance with all provisions which are also important for BPR performance.
“And most importantly, in this self-liquidation process, we will ensure that we prioritize customer protection and ensure that all bank obligations are completed properly,” said Mahendra.
