Prof. Masud outlined that there are at least five components of a Regional Development Bank (BPD), namely: Bank Directors, Controlling Shareholders, OJK, Objectives, and Content of Strategic Work. “These five components interact with one another, so every action taken by the bank must consider all aspects,” he emphasized.
