Why it matters
The central bank views this policy as a core direction to convert Indonesia's potential into tangible economic impact. To achieve this, BI is encouraging the expansion of Islamic financing by partnering with various bodies, including the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the National Sharia Board (DSN), academia, and the Financial Services Authority (OJK).
