- Yulius Bhayangkara Chosen as Chairman of the Insurance Brokers Association, Here’s a Promise to Members
Bisnis.com, JAKARTA — The General Meeting of Members of the Association of Indonesian Insurance and Reinsurance Brokerage Companies (RUA APPARINDO) appointed Yulius Bhayangkara as General Chair for the 2022–2025 period. Yulius was elected to replace Mohammad Jusuf Adi.
Yulius Bhayangkara, General Chairperson of APPARINDO for the 2022–2025 period, said that his election as the new general chairman will focus on reducing the burden on members, namely insurance brokers.
“In the sense of [reducing this burden], we will review all collaborations with other institutions and associations with the target of reducing, even eliminating the member’s business burden. [One of them is] certification and education as well as regulations that actually impose a burden,” said Yulius to Bisnis, Tuesday (1/11/2022).
He gave an example of a very heavy burden, namely members of a brokerage company must have at least 4 experts who have competency certification. Whereas the cost of building talent or human resources (HR) is quite heavy and requires a long process. Not to mention that this certification must be continuously extended.
“We do not reject competency [certification], even APPARINDO, one of the initiators of the brokerage, has the competence to be able to compete with brokers from other countries and has high service standards for consumers,” he said.
He continued the form of costs and the process of building talent from zero to level 7, which cost up to IDR 45 million. Furthermore, APPARINDO said, we will identify business obstacles that come from outside the industry. These obstacles can be in the form of regulations or policies that prevent association members from growing bigger.
“We have to negotiate with competent institutions, both regulators, such as OJK and banks or financing. It is hoped that with the competencies possessed by our members, we will be a solution for more industries,” he concluded. For these two big targets, APPARINDO said he will build an effective and efficient work team to serve members.
Based on Bisnis’ monitoring from the upload of APPARINDO’s official Instagram account, @apparindo_official, the general chairman election process took place on Monday (31/10/2022) located in Jakarta.

Following behind him, Mohammad Jusuf Adi and Primo Fortasiano each received 30 votes and 21 votes.

KOMPAS.com – The Indonesian Life Insurance Association (AAJI) as a member of the Global Federation of Insurance Associations (GFIA) held a seminar on Digital and Risk Management in Insurance (DRiM) Insurance Forum 2022 at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, Monday (17/10/2022) and Tuesday (18/10/2022).
The event with the theme “Supportive Strong, Inclusive and Sustainable Recovery” presented international class speakers from various circles.

Then, “Boosting Financial Inclusion Through Digital Financial Literacy”, “Insurance in Digital World”, and “Trends That Will Shape the Future of Insurance in Indonesia.”
Chairman of the AAJI Management Board, Budi Tampubolon, explained that the activities initiated by the GFIA are always carried out in countries that host the Group of Twenty (G20) Summit. Through the forum, the insurance industry aligns strategic plans that focus on economic issues raised by state leaders in the G20 Summit discussions.

Of that figure, 22.8 percent of them, or Rp. 122.46 trillion is placed on State Securities (SBN). Note, SBN is an investment instrument in the form of government bonds issued by the government. This bond was issued to finance the State Budget (APBN). From the state budget, the government can carry out state development programs, including national economic recovery.
In an effort to recover the national economy, the life insurance industry also adheres to the principles of environmental, social, and governance (ESG). This is done to create an insurance company that is environmentally sound, socially responsible, and has good governance.
This principle is also practiced by the AIA insurance company through five pillars, namely Health and Wellness, Sustainable Operations, Sustainable Investment, People and Culture, and Effective Governance.
“We are committed to contributing to building a sustainable future. ESG is an important principle to achieve this commitment,” said PT AIA Financial Finance Director Dominique Gavin D’ Rosario.
