In a statement, FSA said: “Indonesia and Japan have built connections with each other in the field of supervision and other financial cooperation. As innovative financial services expand on a global scale, tightening the relationship between authorities becomes more important.”
The financial regulatory agencies enter into such agreements to facilitate exchanges and explore collaboration in the burgeoning fintech space.
