The study sample comprises 30 BPRs in East Java. The analysis results indicate that the productivity of BPRs in East Java fluc-tuates from year to year. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, BPR productivity experi-enced a significant decline.

One of the reasons was due to the role of the regulator and supervisor of Indonesia’s financial services industry, Indonesia Financial Services Authority, who required, through its regulation, Financial Services Institutions, Issuers and Public Companies to submit sustainable reports to Indonesia FSA and publish them for the public. This study is intended to conduct an assessment on the scope of disclosure presented on the sustainability report submitted by the Indonesian banking industry. The methodology used is qualitative with descriptive analysis. The evaluation was conducted through a desk study by analyzing banks’ sustainability reports available on their websites. The results of the analysis demonstrated that two years before the implementation of the Indonesia FSA sustainable finance regulation, only 28,5% of sustainability reports, which have submitted voluntarily by large commercial banks, are in line with materiality and stakeholders’ engagement principles. After the sustainable finance regulation was implemented, it was found that only 56,6% of the sustainability reports submitted met the materiality and stakeholders’ engagement principles required by the regulation. Therefore, the biggest challenge lies in the effort to promote awareness and understanding on the importance of sustainable finance and the quality of sustainability report disclosure.","PeriodicalId":485290,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Financial Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136027322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the Indonesian Financial Services Authority or OJK encourages financial services sector actors in creating, developing sustainable product innovations, and supporting financing of production activities that can create economic growth, social justice and environmental quality improvement. We conduct survey and analyze whether insurance companies in Indonesia are interested in implementing sustainable finance in insurance industry and developing sustainable insurance products. Participants’ responses depict insurance firms’ paradigm on sustainable insurance. In this study a framework is proposed for governing factors that impact the development of sustainable insurance product in the future such as the level of knowledge, readiness, and current sustainable insurance product development. To clarify the relationships, a structural equation model is utilized to examine the framework fit with the hypothesis for the four latent variables of this study. Acceptable goodness of fit is established for validity of the measurement model. The test of validity is accepted for the structural model in this study. The SEM results conclude that an insurer’s knowledge of sustainable finance principles affects the insurance firm’s readiness to implement sustainable insurance. Subsequently, the insurer’s readiness affects its current level of sustainable insurance product development. Eventually, the insurer’s knowledge and current development in sustainable insurance products have a positive effect on the insurance firm’s willingness to develop sustainable insurance products in the future. Thus, this study provides valuable information about factors affecting the development of sustainable insurance products in the future as a key for a successful implementation of sustainable finance in Indonesian insurance industry.","PeriodicalId":485290,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Financial Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136027324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, only 2.96% of 64 million MSMEs have disaster insurance. This is because the existing disaster insurance scheme has not fully met the expectations of MSMEs regarding its premium value, its claims mechanism and MSMEs financial capability. This research seeks to explore the factors that influence MSMEs to own disaster insurance, by using quantitative analysis of Panel Fixed Effects Model as the first model and Probit Models as the second and third models as well as qualitative analysis. The result will be utilized to formulate the appropriate disaster insurance product which optimize insurance features based on MSMEs’ demand, encourage regulatory support and improve government funding capacity. Indonesia is currently facing approximately IDR19.75 trillion (USD1.4 billion) financing gap to cover the loss caused by disasters hence, there is also a need to create a high- level financing scheme to cover the gap.","PeriodicalId":485290,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Financial Systems","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136027327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use sample data on all conventional banks, securities firms, life and general insurance companies from 2013-2020. To measure competition, we use Lerner index, Boone indicator and Panzar-Rosse. Our analysis shows that the entry of foreign financial institutions may increase the competition in the financial sector. Further analysis shows that the increasing competition have positive impact to profitability and intermediation, reflected by the return on asset, loan ratio, transaction value, and insurance premium income to total asset ratio. However, foreign financial firms tend to have higher market power compared to domestic counterparts due to the efficiency in doing their businesses. Hence, domestic financial institutions need to boost efficiency, particularly through the adaption of technology and capacity enhancement of human resources, in order to compete with more advanced foreign financial firms.","PeriodicalId":485290,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Financial Systems","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136027328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
