LPS Financial Festival
2025, at the Dyandra Convention Center, Surabaya, Wednesday (6/8).
Didik said this event would provide education and increase financial literacy among the younger generation and the wider community.
This festival, he said, also became one of the LPS strategies to get closer to the public and introduce the function of deposit guarantee to the public.
“The aim is to increase financial literacy in the middle class. I see especially in the younger generation. Maybe 90 percent may be the younger generation. High school, students and maybe other generations,” Didik said in his remarks.
The 2025 LPS Financial Festival, he said, was held as an interactive education container that touched various walks of life.
He also said that Surabaya became the first city in the series of events, followed by Medan as the next location.
This implementation also coincided with the 80th anniversary of Indonesian Independence and 20 years of the establishment of LPS.
“This festival is designed as a more inclusive financial education tool. We want to encourage the community, especially the younger generation and small businesses, to better understand the importance of saving in banks, recognize the benefits of guaranteeing LPS deposits, and being able to make better financial decisions,” he said.
He also reminded the public to be wise in choosing financial products and not trapped in bulging investments, illegal online loans (loans), or online gambling (judol).
“Later friends will get literacy, understanding how the risk of bulging investment, how the signs, so that it can be expected to avoid risks that we do not expect together. The safest one is indeed saving in banks. Saving in banks outside is safe, guaranteed LPS again,” he explained.
Didik stressed, LPS has a very strong financial capacity to ensure community deposits.At present, the total LPS assets reach Rp250 trillion and continue to grow every year.
“Every year it can add Rp25 to Rp30 trillion,” he said.
On that occasion, he also responded to public concerns related to the issue of freezing passive accounts conducted by PPATK.He asked the public to not worry anymore.
“If the deposit is not active 3 months, it will be frozen, frozen by PPATK. Don’t worry. For the provision it has been revoked again,” Didik explained.
According to him, it is important for the community to continue to activate their accounts with the habit of saving regularly as part of long -term financial planning.
“Every month there is a tube. The tube is not passive too. It’s active if it can increase the balance,” he added.
Didik hopes that the presence of this festival can increase public confidence in the national banking system and strengthen the role of banking in encouraging economic growth.
“If the community is increasingly trusting the banking, the stability of the banking system is achieved. Community funds are used by banks to finance the development of the financial sector, financing entrepreneurs, eventually the impact will benefit the economic growth and welfare of our people all,” Didik concluded.
The 2025 LPS Financial Festival is the result of collaboration with Trans Media and will present a series of educational talk shows, interactive games, fertilizers, and financial literacy sessions aimed at students, students, MSMEs, and the general public.
