Indonesia outlines three priorities for stock market reform
The government is examining policies to lift listed companies’ valuations and seeking faster regulatory decisions when suspected irregularities emerge.
Indonesia’s government is committed to financial market reforms aimed at protecting investors, Deputy Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Dradjad Hari Wibowo said on 12 November 2026. Speaking in Jakarta, he outlined three priorities: raising listed companies’ valuations, speeding up enforcement decisions and strengthening investor education.
Addressing foreign investors and other market participants, Dradjad said the reforms were intended not just to respond to their concerns but also to reflect financial markets’ importance to Indonesia’s economy. More than 34 million Indonesians have invested assets in the stock market, he said, adding that substantive changes were needed to protect their investments.
The Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs will examine economic policies that could increase listed companies’ value. Dradjad said the government also intended to make greater use of its debottlenecking task force to accelerate the resolution of regulatory and bureaucratic obstacles.
The government has asked the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) to reach decisions more quickly when suspected violations or irregularities arise. Dradjad described the exchange’s enforcement as effective, but called for clearer public communication about how enforcement decisions are reached.
The third priority is better financial market education for investors and other stakeholders. Dradjad also invited foreign investors to raise concerns with the government, OJK and relevant authorities, saying the government would seek to address their feedback.
