Jakarta, 15 August 2022 – Reinforcing its commitment to support Indonesian people towards #FinanciallyFit, Bank OCBC NISP launched OCBC NISP Financial Fitness Index 2022, an annual research collaboration with NielsenIQ to provide an overview of Indonesia’s younger generation financial condition by looking at the attitudes and behaviors in managing their finances. The OCBC NISP Financial Fitness Index 2022 is the 2nd year of research after the previous one was published in August 2021.
The results of the Financial Fitness Index 2022 found that 42% of young Indonesians are confident their current financial plans will provide them with the financial security they need in the future. However, there is a gap between what their believe and the reality of their situation. This is proven by 80% of them admits that they do not keep financial record and only 26% having an emergency fund set up. In fact, only 9% of the respondents have set up investments schemes such as mutual funds, stocks, and time deposit. In addition, only 17% have passive income, 8% use money within their budget and only 22% really understand about their investment products.
Chinni Yanti Tjhin, Retail Proposition Division Head Bank OCBC NISP stated that “The small number of young people who save and invest in a structured manner is concerning, because having awareness is not good enough to achieve financial aspirations. In the productive age, it's time to think about how money can work for us. One of the way is to immediately transform the way we save and invest in order to achieve both short term and long term goals such as buying a dream house and providing the best education for our children.”
Overall, the Financial Fitness Index 2022 shows that Indonesia's Financial Fitness score increased to 40.06 in 2022, compared to the previous year's with 37.72. However, 76% of Indonesians have financial habits that need to be addressed, such as spending money to fulfil their friends’ lifestyle.
Inggit Primadevi, Director of Consumer Insights at NielsenIQ Indonesia, added that “Young generation who own investment products such as mutual funds, stocks, cryptocurrencies, increased to 9% this year. Unfortunately, 78%* of them claim that they do not fully understand the risks and benefits associated with investment products, and yet they tend to invest in certain assets because they are trending and appear to yield high returns.”
“The concept of saving transformation is not just saving money, but how we can get more optimal returns through selecting products that match our knowledge (risk appetite), risk profile, and investment period. Moreover, we also need to choose financial institutions that is supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK)," stated Chinni.
"We invite all Indonesian people, especially young generation to #BangkitSehatFinansial (#ReviveFinanciallyFit) by implementing the right way of saving - not only seeing and chasing profits instantly. They can start transforming their way of saving by diversifying their money into several financial instruments, such as dividing savings by time deposits, regular savings plan, and daily mutual funds,” added Chinni.
“As a solution to the financial problems faced by the Indonesian people, especially young generation, NYALA OCBC NISP provides Check, Choose and Cuan solutions to support them in taking concrete steps to achieve their #FinanciallyFit.
