OJK to revise carbon trading rule, targets June completion

By Rikordias Siahaan

Indonesia’s financial regulator is preparing to revise its carbon trading regulation and develop a supporting registry system as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s carbon market framework, following the issuance of a new forestry regulation.

Friderica Widyasari Dewi, Chief Commissioner of the Financial Services Authority (or OJK), said the authority is currently working on revisions to OJK Regulation No 14/2023 on carbon trading through a carbon exchange, with completion targeted by June 2026.

 “OJK is also a member of the Carbon Economic Value Steering Committee, and I can say that currently we are also developing a system that will support a carbon unit registry system together with the Indonesia Stock Exchange. We will also adjust OJK Regulation No. 14, and God willing, everything will be completed by June this year,” she said during a press briefing at the Ministry of Forestry in Jakarta on Wednesday (April 29, 2026)

The planned revision and the development of the registry system are intended to align with Indonesia’s broader carbon trading architecture, particularly following the enactment of Forestry Minister Regulation No. 6/2026, which provides an updated framework for carbon trading implementation in the forestry sector.

Friderica added that the regulatory adjustment and supporting infrastructure are expected to be finalized by June this year, as authorities move to enhance transparency, governance, and integration within Indonesia’s carbon market ecosystem.
