Abstract

This study investigates the possible consequences of Indonesia's Digital Rupiah on the future landscape of banks and FinTech companies. Our findings indicate that the advent of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) may create an unlevel playing field between banks and FinTech firms. With the potential for intermediaries, including banks and non-bank institutions, to gain wholesale access to the Digital Rupiah, heightened competition could ensue, posing a risk to the stability of commercial banks, even extending to state-owned entities. Policymakers in Indonesia must create fair policies that promote competition among all stakeholders while strategically positioning state-owned banks to ensure economic stability and sovereignty. Drawing inspiration from Niklas Luhmann's framework of law as a social system, which emphasizes the balance between openness and closedness, and incorporating Julia Black's principle-based approach to regulation, we propose a regulatory framework and interaction pattern between bank and fintech. This framework aims to strike a balance between the needs of banks and FinTech firms by integrating elements of entity-based and activity-based regulation.

Abstract

Petty theft is one of the most common criminal offenses and contributes to prison overcrowding, even though the losses involved are minimal and often committed by economically vulnerable individuals. The retributive criminal justice system in Indonesia has proven less effective in resolving such cases fairly and efficiently. This study aims to analyze the optimization of restorative justice in handling petty theft cases in Indonesia, while comparing its application with Malaysia and New Zealand. The research employs a normative juridical method, using statutory and comparative legal approaches. The research shows that Indonesia has introduced restorative justice through the Attorney General's Regulation Number 15 of 2020. However, practical implementation faces challenges, including limited awareness among law enforcement, insufficient institutional synergy, and a lack of supporting facilities. In Malaysia, restorative principles are reflected in local practices, although not formally adopted in national legal frameworks. In contrast, New Zealand has institutionalized restorative justice, especially in youth cases, with comprehensive procedures and strong community participation. The comparative analysis suggests that successful implementation depends on regulatory clarity, trained human resources, and active community involvement. Indonesia must therefore enhance its legal infrastructure and cross-sector collaboration to ensure that restorative justice becomes an effective tool in resolving petty theft cases.
