One of the factors contributing to the occurrence of the global economic crisis in 2007 was the provision of high bonuses due to achieving set targets while ignoring risks that would arise in the future, thereby endangering the Bank's financial condition if the Bank is unable to absorb such losses. Corrective actions to correct these unhealthy bonus practices subsequently became an agenda in the global financial system reform program and on September 25, 2009, the Financial Stability Board issued the Principles for Sound Compensation Practices.
The reform program aims to (i) prevent the emergence of moral hazard and prioritize prudential elements in Bank management; (ii) maintain the health of Banks individually; and (iii) mitigate excessive risk-taking by decision-makers. Indonesia, as one of the G-20 members, is committed to adopting these principles in the form of regulations.
In line with the implementation of Basel II, specifically Pillar 3 (Market Discipline), Banks are required to disclose more transparent information to the public and market players, particularly regarding Remuneration, to encourage discipline and so that stakeholders...
interests can provide a fair assessment.
However, this information disclosure is carried out while maintaining the Bank's competitive advantage. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the scope of information, both qualitative and quantitative, that must be disclosed so that competition among Banks remains maintained. In this regard, it is necessary to regulate the implementation of governance in the provision of remuneration in a Financial Services Authority Regulation.
