Santosa stressed that the TPAKD plays an important role in providing flexible and affordable financial access.
Moreover, according to him, increasing financial literacy and consumer protection in the regions is also an intrinsic part of TPAKD's duties and functions.
The inauguration of the TPAKD for Southwest Papua Province brings their number across Indonesia to 523.
The TPAKD is expected to be a catalyst for other regions to establish and inaugurate more such teams.
TPAKD is a coordination forum between agencies and related stakeholders to expedite financial access in the regions to encourage regional economic growth and create a more prosperous society.
