The regulation, which sets out provisions on general requirements, risk management, product explanations, licensing, reporting, and discontinuation of new products and activities, shall come into force on the date of promulgation. Additionally, OJK is seeking comments, until April 17, 2023, on the maximum legal lending limits for rural banks (or BPRs) and the maximum limits for distribution of funds for Sharia rural banks (or BPRS).
