Later, the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) will implement the policy guarantee program, whose function is to guarantee insurance customer policies in addition to assuring depositors’ deposits.

Togar said that there are three strong reasons for the LPP to be formed in 2 years. First, Indonesia has human resources (HR), reflected in actuarial graduates scattered throughout Indonesia. Second, through discussions with AAJI, AAUI, and AASI. Third, with the joint support of the government and regulators.
“So in those two years, we hope to start operating [LPP],” he added. Thus, if the P2SK Bill is passed this year, LPP can operate in 2024 in stages, starting with accident insurance products, health insurance products, and long-term insurance products.

“LPP must have human resources such as actuaries, risk management, and GCG [good corporate governance] experts,” he said.
- PPSK Bill: Sri Mulyani Reveals Urgency of Insurance Policy Guarantee

This was conveyed by the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati in the House of Representatives Commission XI in a Working Meeting with the Minister of Finance, Head of BKPM, Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs, and Menkumham on Thursday (10/11/2022).
As stated in the draft PPSK Bill, specifically in Article 3A, one of the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) functions is guaranteeing insurance customer policies. Meanwhile, in Part Four of the Policy Guarantee Program Operator Article 78, it is also stated that LPS organizes PPP.
The state treasurer said in addition to strengthening the authority to carry out the function of deposit guarantees and bank resolutions, IDIC will also get a new mandate, namely implementing the Policy Guarantee Program.
“This policy guarantee program is established to protect policyholders and the insured when the insurance company’s business license is revoked. At the same time, efforts to protect policyholders and insurance should go hand in hand with increasing the supervisory and regulatory functions of the supervisory authority. This is important because it will become the foundation for the health business of the Indonesian insurance industry,” Sri Mulyani explained in the Commission XI Working Meeting on the DPR RI YouTube channel Thursday (10/11/2022).

According to him, if the financial industry has a strong, efficient, stable, credible, and inclusive intermediation function, it will improve the Indonesian economy to become a developed country towards high income fairly and equitably.
Therefore, said Sri Mulyani, the government agreed that the PPSK Bill has strategic value and is essential for efforts to continue Indonesia’s development process in a sustainable and highly competitive manner. “Financial sector reform has a high urgency in the role of intermediation and strengthens financial system resilience. The financial sector still has a lot of fundamental problems. The portion of assets in the non-bank financial industry as a long-term source of funds that can be expected to provide a source of development financing is also relatively small,” he concluded.

- The establishment of the Policy Guarantee Institution takes time. This is the response of AAUI
KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. The establishment of a Policy Guarantee Agency is an urgent need during a situation where several insurance companies fail to pay. It is mandated by Law Number 40 of 2014 concerning Insurance.

- Abortion and HIV Patient Data Leaks, Hackers Demand IDR 100.8 Billion to Australian Insurance
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – A hacker has demanded nearly Aus$10 million or around Rp100.8 billion to stop leaking Australian medical records in one of the worst cyber attacks in the country.
In a message posted on the dark web on Thursday, 10 November 2022, as reported by Al Jazeera, the hackers said they were demanding Aus$1 from Medibank, Australia’s largest private health insurance company, for each of the 9.7 million customers affected by the breach. Big data last month.
The hacker also posted information linking clients to their abortion programs after releasing a “rogue list” earlier this week to show clinicians receiving treatment for addiction, mental health problems, and HIV.
Medibank CEO David Koczkar on Thursday condemned the hacker’s actions as “shameful” while repeating an apology to customers.
“We remain committed to fully and transparently communicating with customers, and we will contact customers whose data has been released on the dark web,” said Koczkar.
“Wearing people’s personal information to extort payments is dangerous, and it attacks the most vulnerable members of our community.”
Medibank has refused to pay the ransom, citing advice from cybercrime experts that it will not ensure the return of customer information. Moreover, it could harm more people by making Australia a bigger target.
Local media have linked a dark web forum used to post the hacked data to the crime group REvil. According to Russian authorities, this web forum was closed earlier this year at the request of the United States.
The Australian Federal Police, investigating the cyberattack, have warned that downloading or accessing data could be a criminal offense.
Home Secretary Clare O’Neil described the hackers as “criminal bastards.” “I cannot express the disgust I have for the bastard at the heart of this criminal act,” O’Neil told parliament on Wednesday.
The cyber attack, which first came to light last month, is the latest in a series of significant data breaches to rock Australia. Optus, Australia’s second-largest telecommunications provider, announced in September that the data of up to 10 million subscribers had been compromised in a cyberattack against the company.
