FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY REGULATION
REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
NUMBER 17 OF 2023
CONCERNING
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GOVERNANCE FOR COMMERCIAL BANKS
I. GENERAL
The role of banking, which is one of the important aspects of the financial services sector, needs to be continuously supported and strengthened. Banking is also required to remain competitive and responsive to changes in the increasingly complex and competitive external and internal environments, accompanied by increasingly broad challenges. The strengthening of the implementation of Good Governance on Banks is one of the main elements to enhance the competitiveness of banking. Good Governance on Banks will have a positive impact on Bank performance. Along with the development of financial activities and products as well as the adoption of information technology developments, the framework of Good Governance regulations on Banks and the support of effective risk management implementation also need to be continuously refined, to ensure that emerging risks can be anticipated effectively and to ensure that Banks are supported by reliable governance implementation and the execution of healthy business practices. Experience shows that failures in the implementation of Good Governance on Banks are often one of the main causes of Bank failures to survive in business competition, and massive-scale Bank failures can cause crises in the banking sector and the economy. In this regard, Banks are continuously required to operate with the implementation of reliable and integrated governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), supported by digitalization and technological innovation, and with environmental and social awareness (ESG), so that Banks are able to meet legal regulations, standards, ethical values, principles, and common practices, maintain and build the foundation for value creation, and optimize sustainable performance achievements, manage rights and responsibilities, and maintain the balance of interests of shareholders and all other stakeholders in efforts to contribute more broadly to driving the national economy.
In the OJK regulatory framework, there is a need for harmony and synergy in regulations regarding the implementation of Good Governance on Banks, including the implementation of governance regulated in a separate OJK regulation, and referring to applicable legal regulations, including provisions on banking (conventional commercial banks and Islamic commercial banks) and provisions on the development and strengthening of the financial sector. Therefore, this Financial Services Authority Regulation also serves as the regulatory umbrella regarding the implementation of governance for Banks. Thus, the implementation of Good Governance on Banks in every business activity and lines of defense of Banks is expected to provide a positive contribution in supporting the strengthening and competitiveness of Banks, as well as supporting inclusive and sustainable national economic growth, thereby realizing a prosperous, advanced, and dignified society. In this regard, to support the strengthening of regulations regarding Good Governance on Banks, it is necessary to update the regulations regarding the Implementation of Governance for Commercial Banks.
