Natuna Regional Secretary Boy Wijanarko Varianto took part in an online High-Level Meeting of the Regional Financial Access Acceleration Team (TPAKD) for the Riau Islands Province on Tuesday morning (November 10). He joined the meeting from the Zoom Meeting Room on the second floor of the Natuna Regent’s Office on Jalan Batu Sisir Bukit Arai, East Bunguran District.
The meeting was led by Riau Islands Governor Ansar Ahmad and attended by the Deputy Governor, the Head of the Riau Islands Financial Services Authority (OJK) and staff, as well as regents, mayors, regional secretaries, and heads of government agencies from across the province.
In his remarks, Governor Ansar Ahmad stressed that close cooperation between the provincial government and local governments is important to boost regional economic growth.
He said that programs such as school savings, investment products, and other banking services could bring greater benefits to the community. He encouraged local governments to give their full support to these programs so that more people could benefit from them.
He also highlighted the importance of regularly monitoring and evaluating financial products and services offered by banks and social security institutions, including BPJS. This is necessary to ensure that these services continue to support the local economy and bring real benefits to the community.
Ansar also praised the banking institutions for their continued cooperation and efforts to improve their services. By using data from various sources, financial institutions are developing safer, faster, and more efficient banking services. They are also playing an important role in supporting the growth of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) across the Riau Islands Province.
Looking ahead, Ansar said that he and the TPAKD team would continue to monitor regional economic developments, identify challenges, and take the necessary steps to improve the situation. These efforts are aimed at ensuring that the regional economy continues to grow in a healthy and sustainable way. (Pro_kopimnatuna/Endang)
