IDThe Financial Services Authority (OJK) in Indonesia is working to enhance the nation's carbon trading ecosystem to promote public welfare and leverage Indonesia's natural resources for economic benefit. During a press conference, OJK Chair Friderica Widyasari Dewi highlighted the launch of the Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK), which serves as the backbone of Indonesia's carbon trading market before linking to the Indonesia Carbon Exchange. This initiative aims to attract significant investments—up to $5.8 billion—and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 570 million tons of CO2e. OJK has introduced new regulations aligning with the Carbon Economic Value (NEK) framework to provide a legal basis for financing decarbonization projects. These efforts are part of broader goals to position Indonesia as a leader in the global carbon market.
