About

Adi Budiarso is an Indonesian finance official, born in Salatiga in 1970. He holds a Diploma IV from STAN, a Master of Accounting from the University of Southern California and a Doctor of Business Administration from the University of Canberra. He spent his earlier career at the Ministry of Finance, where he headed the Central Transformation Office, the Fiscal Policy Agency's financial sector policy centre and, from June 2025, the directorate for banking, financial market and other financing development.

Since March 2026 he has been OJK's Chief Executive for Financial Sector Technology Innovation, Digital Financial Assets and Crypto Assets, and a member of its board of commissioners for 2026 to 2031. He replaced Hasan Fawzi after a fit and proper test before Commission XI of the House of Representatives. His remit covers fintech, digital financial assets and crypto trading.

In July 2026 he presented OJK's 2026 to 2031 roadmap for the sector, covering tokenisation, stablecoins, cybersecurity, OTC trading, digital asset tax and a single investor identifier. In August 2026 he said OJK, in coordination with Bank Indonesia, treats stablecoins as a transaction instrument rather than a means of payment. He added that OJK is drafting comprehensive rules and that several stablecoin and tokenisation models have passed through its regulatory sandbox.
