Antara, Jakarta – The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has revoked the business licenses of 14 banks in Indonesia since early 2024 due to financial collapse.
"In 2014, 14 banks in Indonesia collapsed and had their business licenses revoked. These banks were rural banks (BPR)," said Dian Ediana Rae, OJK's Executive Head of Banking Supervision, on Monday.
