DPR asks digital banks not to reduce job opportunities. Member of Committee XI of the House of Representatives (DPR) from the Golkar Group, Puteri Anetta Komarudin, explained that efforts to move special provisions for digital banking will further increase the effectiveness of the financial services industry.
However, the OJK is expected to consider the labor factor which is quite affecting the lower class economy in the midst of the epidemic, including the millennial generation whose unemployment is increasing.
“Digital banking regulations should not eliminate job opportunities. In addition, several layoff victims from the batch who have just started working,” he said, Tuesday (30 March 2022).
Putri, who was contacted separately, explained that with the effectiveness of digital banking, several banks are no longer hiring workers at this time. In fact, there are also many cases of banking institutions turning to digital banking and stopping many of their employees. “Really love. Many colleagues in the banking industry were eventually laid off,” he said.
OJK is currently still working on a decision regarding digital banks whose issuance is expected at the end of semester I / 2022.
OJK Deputy Commissioner for Banking Supervision I Tegar Supangkat explained that digital banking regulations are still in the regulatory stage. This stipulation is part of the RPOJK provisions for commercial banks.
“Essentially digital bank regulations are still in the regulatory process which is called the RPOJK provisions for commercial banks,” he said, Tuesday (30 March 2022). Regarding activities with information technology, OJK controls it through POJK 13 of 2022.
This provision issued on March 24, 2022 is an amendment to the Provisions on Financial Services Authority Number 38 / POJK.03 / 2022 regarding the Implementation of Risk Management in the Use of Information Technology by Commercial Banks.
“Regarding risk management activities in the information technology section, POJK 13 of 2022 has regulations. In general, it has been arranged there,” he explained.
In addition, OJK is trying to ensure that digital banking regulations are in line with the targets set in the first half of this year. “God willing,” he said.
