On Friday (8/8), Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) continues to strengthen its role as a facilitator of sustainable financing by hosting the roundtable discussion for the launch of the Orange Capital Markets initiative. This milestone marks an important step towards mobilizing up to US$5 billion in capital by 2030 through innovative instruments such as Orange Bonds and Orange Sukuk, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 Agenda.
In collaboration with Impact Investment Exchange (IIX), IDX convened stakeholders from across sectors — including government, corporations, regulators, banking, and development institutions — to discuss a strategic roadmap for advancing the orange capital market in Indonesia. This initiative is designed to reinforce Indonesia’s leadership in sustainable finance while promoting gender equality and social inclusion by integrating gender perspectives into the fixed-income market.
IDX has observed strong interest from corporations in issuing sustainable debt instruments. This aligns with IDX’s efforts to promote and encourage listed companies to integrate sustainability values into their growth strategies. “The issuance of instruments such as Orange Bonds and Orange Sukuk reflects the collective commitment of Indonesia’s capital market to mitigating the impacts of climate change while enhancing social impact through sustainability-oriented financing,” said Listyorini Dian Pratiwi, Vice Director of Listed Company Development at IDX.
As a follow-up, IDX and IIX will launch the Orange Bond Ecosystem Readiness Training. This program aims to equip Indonesian capital market participants with the knowledge, skills, and strategies to lead gender-smart investments in climate and sustainability. The training will cover governance, structuring, impact measurement, and investor positioning, specifically tailored to Indonesia’s sustainable finance landscape and regulatory context.
With the introduction of two national frameworks — the Indonesia Orange Bond Framework and the Indonesia Orange Sukuk Framework — which are aligned with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) regulations and existing green, social, and sustainability bond principles, IDX is confident that this initiative will enable inclusive, impactful, and sustainable financing for various national development priorities, from climate resilience and sustainable infrastructure to the ocean economy and financial inclusion.
