This is since the problems afflicting the finance industry are very complex and must be solved at the earliest, especially for the non-banking sector, though the banking sector and the stock market are not to be dismissed.

She also advised the OJK Board of Commissioners to not allow the people to become victims due to their unawareness and lack of knowledge concerning the finance industry.

Based on her observation on the field, Byarwati pointed out that several people became victims of finance industry products owing to their lack of education concerning topics, such as online loan and insurance.
