Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has recorded losses from illegal investments amounting to Rp139.67  trillion between 2017 and 2023. 

Irhamsah, the Executive Analyst of OJK's Consumer Protection Department and member of the Task Force for Eradicating Illegal Financial Activities (PASTI), said on Thursday (5/9/2024) that OJK, through PASTI, has intensified efforts to prevent and address illegal financial activities to combat this issue. 

The task force is a coordinated effort involving the financial sector, ministries, and law enforcement agencies, including the police and intelligence services.

"We continue to encourage the public not to be easily lured by illegal investments and loans," said Irhamsah, as quoted by antaranews.com.

OJK's literacy and financial inclusion efforts have led to a rise in financial literacy from 49% to 65.43%, and financial inclusion has reached 75%. These efforts are further strengthened by the recent launch of the National Financial Literacy Movement (Gencarkan).
