Capital Market Investors Reach 13.45 Million, Capitalization Reaches Rp12,300 Trillion

Jakarta – The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and the Indonesian Central Securities Depository (KSEI) noted that until July 2024 the number of capital market investors reached 13.45 million. This figure has increased since the obligation to make a single investor identification (SID) was implemented in 2012.

President Director of PT Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia (KSEI) Samsul Hidayat said this figure has increased since the implementation of the obligation to make a single investor identification (SID) in 2012.

Samsul explained, in recent years, the Indonesian capital market has continued to experience significant developments in terms of digitalization, financial inclusion, and improving market quality and transparency. Of course, this is in line with the Indonesian capital market roadmap for 2023-2027.

“Since the mandatory opening of SID in 2012 until August 2024, the number of Indonesian capital market investors has reached more than 13.45 million investors,” Samsul said at the 47th Anniversary of the Capital Market, Monday, August 12, 2024.

The number of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange has reached 935 companies. The increase in the number of listed companies was also followed by an increase in market capitalization, which was recorded at Rp 12,300 trillion.

Samsul hopes that this figure can continue to increase along with the growth of emittance performance, an increase in the number of investors and also an increase in the number of listed companies.

“Until August 2024, the average daily transaction value has now reached Rp11.8 trillion per day, an increase of more than 2 thousand percent since the last two decades,” he added.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Mahendra Siregar said global uncertainty will continue to accompany the next few periods. This also affects and has an impact on the growth of stability and economic development throughout the world, including Indonesia.

Mahendra also emphasized that economic development and growth as well as national economic and financial stability can still be maintained well.

“Of course, the growth and development of our development cannot be separated from the contribution of the Indonesian capital market which continues to show its ability to adapt and become an important stability motor in maintaining the national economy against various international pressures,” he explained.

In this case, OJK will continue to strengthen regulations, increase the capacity of market participants, and actively participate in building a national ecosystem in applying environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles.

“We will certainly continue to strengthen regulations, increase the capacity of market participants, and continue to actively build the national ecosystem needed to encourage ESG and realize an increasingly inclusive and sustainable capital market,” he concluded. (*)
