"Dream - Independent Commissioner of the Indonesian Islamic Bank (BSI), Arief Rosyid, has conducted a roadshow or visit to 12 pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in East Java for two weeks at the end of September 2023."

"Not without purpose, Arief Rosyid made the visit to continue weaving the potential of Islamic youth and Shariah economy. 'This visit to the pesantrens was not unplanned. This visit indeed continues the weaving of the potential of Islamic youth and Shariah economy that we previously started from mosques across Indonesia,' said Arief in his statement on Tuesday, October 3, 2023."

The translated text while preserving the HTML tags is: "The visited pesantrens include Pesantren Sidogiri in Pasuruan, Pesantren Tebuireng and Tambakberas in Jombang, Pesantren Bumi Sholawat in Sidoarjo, as well as Pesantren Al Rifai'e, Amanatul Ummah, and Al Fihtrah in Surabaya."

Former Chairman of PB HMI 2013-2015 stated, Indonesia is a country with great potential to become a leading country in the world's Islamic economy sector.

Based on data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the total assets of the Islamic financial industry in Indonesia reached more than Rp2,813 trillion by the end of 2022. This value grew by 13.4 percent from the previous year. This growth was driven by the improved performance of Islamic banking, Islamic insurance, and Islamic capital markets.

The youngest commissioner at BSI also emphasized, Indonesia should not only be regarded as a target consumer or market. "We should not let the narrative of Indonesia being the world's largest Muslim population be merely targeted as a consumer or market. This is the era of transformation. We should be able to lead as producers, innovators, in the aspects of Islamic economy and finance," he explained.

"In order to tap into this potential, Arief, in his capacity as both a commissioner and administrator of the Shariah Economic Society (MES), as well as the initiator of various youth movements, conducts visits and dialogues with stakeholders."

"Especially to the pockets of the Muslim community, namely mosques, students, and scholars. We also want to hear how they can participate in the movement of Shariah economy and finance,"

"ungkapnya." translates to "he/she expressed."

Arief also sees tremendous potential in pesantren. Like the Gus, Ning, and students who are ready to go global. "We will witness together in the near future, the 'birth' of young students who are relevant in the global arena like Ainun Najib and friends," he added. After visiting the main pesantrens in East Java, he and his team will continue to move to dozens of pesantrens across the country.
