Indonesia Signals Agentic AI Governance Needs in Financial Services
A regional peer government is publicly framing agentic AI authority in financial services as a governance gap — a pattern Australian regulators may face similarly.
Key points
- Indonesia's Deputy Minister flagged agentic AI governance risks in financial services at OJK Financial Innovation Day.
- The remarks signal regulatory intent around autonomous transaction authority, not a binding rule or compliance deadline.
- Limited direct relevance to APS; useful as regional peer signal on how governments are framing agentic AI risk.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Australian agencies and regulators working on agentic AI governance — including Treasury, ASIC, and APRA-adjacent policy teams — may want to monitor how Indonesia and regional peers translate these concerns into regulatory frameworks.

Indonesia's Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Nezar Patria, warned at OJK Financial Innovation Day on 27 August that agentic AI systems capable of initiating financial transactions when granted authority create new governance and accountability questions for the financial sector. The remarks are a policy signal rather than an announced regulation — no binding rules, compliance deadlines, or enforcement mechanisms were announced. The core concern is how authority, oversight, and accountability are assigned when autonomous systems can act rather than merely advise. Future guidance from Indonesian regulators would be needed to establish concrete obligations.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Australian agencies and regulators working on agentic AI governance — including Treasury, ASIC, and APRA-adjacent policy teams — may want to monitor how Indonesia and regional peers translate these concerns into regulatory frameworks.
