Financial Services Sector Stability Maintained Amid Increasing Global Geopolitical Uncertainty
Jakarta, 8 July 2025. The Monthly Board of Commissioners Meeting of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) held on 25 June 2025 assessed that the stability of the Financial Services Sector (SJK) was still maintained despite global economic moderation and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
International organisations again downgraded their world economic growth projections for 2025 and 2026. In their latest reports, the World Bank and OECD assessed that the uncertainty surrounding geopolitical developments continues to overshadow the economic recovery outlook moving forward.
Trade uncertainty between the United States (US) and China eased slightly after the framework for a trade agreement between the two countries was reached. Notwithstanding, geopolitical tensions are ramping up again, particularly in the Middle East, in response to the war between Israel and Iran, followed by the US attack on Iran’s three main nuclear facilities. Pressure on financial markets and oil prices also eased after the ceasefire between Israel and Iran came into effect.
Against such an inauspicious backdrop, global economic indicators point to a moderating trend, with most below expectations. This has triggered more accommodative fiscal and monetary policies globally. In the US, despite a downgraded economic growth outlook, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) is yet to lower interest rates, maintaining its benchmark Federal Funds Rate (FFR) in the 4.25-4.50 percent range, awaiting further clarity on tariff policy and its impact on inflation.
At home, the domestic economy remains resilient despite the global turmoil. Inflation continues tracking a downward trend, with core inflation moderating to 2.37 percent (yoy).
Externally, the trade balance in May 2025 amassed a significant surplus following pressures experienced the month earlier. Export performance has improved, primarily driven by positive export growth for agricultural and manufacturing products during the past three months. Such growth effectively offset the declines recorded in exports of mining products and other commodities.

The imposition of penalties against banking crime represents an extension of the banking legal framework in accordance with Act Number 4 of 2023 concerning Financial Sector Development and Strengthening (P2SK Act). Law enforcement is the last resort or final measure that should only be used when other administrative oversight measures are deemed ineffective (ultimum remedium).
Ultimum remedium is one of OJK's commitments when enforcing the law against criminals operating in the financial services sector, which is expected to improve financial sector integrity and help balance financial system stability with efforts to protect customer interests.
