OJK LAUNCHES CARBON EXCHANGE BOOKLET FOR THE FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR TO PROMOTE GREEN ECONOMY AND NET ZERO EMISSION
Jakarta, July 15, 2025. Indonesia Financial Services Authority (OJK) officially launched “Understanding Carbon Trading for Financial Services Sector" booklet to strategically strengthen financial services sector in support of transitioning to green economy and low carbon developments.
Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of OJK Mahendra Siregar, Chief Executive of Capital Markets, Financial Derivatives, and Carbon Exchange Supervision of OJK Inarno Djajadi, President Director of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia Iman Rachman and President Director of PT Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia launched the booklet at Main Hall of Indonesia Stock Exchange, Jakarta, Tuesday.
Mahendra Siregar emphasized calling for real solutions and collaboration for climate crisis, one of which through the carbon exchange. The booklet launching aligns with OJK's duty to regulate, supervise, and develop the carbon exchange through secondary market, as mandated by the Law Number 4 of 2023 on the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector (P2SK Law).
The booklet provides comprehensive and implementable basic principles, regulation, and mechanism of carbon trading, including the Financial Services Sector's potential, challenges, and strategic roles in building a credible and integrous national and global carbon market.
“With a comprehensive and holistic approach, we hope the overall concept and flow of the carbon market and exchange may become easily discernible by related stakeholders, so they will be able to fully understand the administrative and technical procedures required in the processes," Mahendra stated.
Mahendra mentioned that the booklet identifies carbon trading risks, such as fraud, misstatement, and greenwashing.
“Therefore, we need a solid governance system, effective supervision, and active participation of all stakeholders in preserving carbon market integrity to stay credible and trustworthy," Mahendra said.
He expected the booklet will become a beneficial reference for financial services industry players, as well as academicians, researchers, university students, stakeholders, and the public to support Indonesia's Net Zero Emission achievement in 2060 or earlier.
President Director of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia Iman Rachman expressed gratitude to OJK and the Ministry of Environment for their support and cooperation in expanding carbon trading. OJK's supervision and integration to the National Registry System fundamentally strengthens Indonesia carbon market's creativity and integrity in global perspective.
Iman conveyed that the “Understanding Carbon Trading for Financial Services Sector" booklet was formulated by OJK as a manifestation of the commitment to sustainability and carbon trading development in Indonesia.
