Published on 11/08/2025

On Monday (11/8), The Financial Services Authority (OJK), together with the Self-Regulatory Organizations (SRO) of the Indonesian capital market – Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), Indonesia Clearing and Guarantee Corporation (KPEI), and Indonesia Central Securities Depository (KSEI) – commemorated the 48th Anniversary of the Reactivation of the Indonesian Capital Market under the theme “Fostering an Independent, Sovereign, and Advanced Economy Together.” The celebration began with the opening bell ceremony at the IDX Main Hall, followed by a joint press conference by OJK and the SROs.

During the ceremony, the capital market introduced two new initiatives. First, the granting of the inaugural license for a Stock Liquidity Provider to PT Phintraco Sekuritas to enhance market liquidity and facilitate stock trading. Second, the announcement of mutual fund participation in the Securities Borrowing and Lending (SBL) facility to strengthen market liquidity and open up broader investment strategy opportunities.

This year’s celebration also features various educational and social programs, including support for the government’s “Sekolah Rakyat” program, the 30,000 Student Education Program, the Capital Market Literacy & Inclusion Campus Driver Initiative, and the Virtual Trading Competition 2025 powered by IDX Mobile. In addition, the SROs will host the Capital Market Run, an open running event designed to combine sports, public outreach, and capital market education.

Several annual flagship events are also returning, such as the Integrated Capital Market Education and Outreach (SEPMT), Capital Market Summit & Expo (CMSE), Public Expose Live, CEO Networking, social media content competitions, IFA International Conference, CSR initiatives, sports tournaments, and special programs for capital market journalists, including a media gathering and photography/journalism competitions.

For CSR programs, the SROs have allocated IDR 2.4 billion from exchange transaction fees and custodian service fees collected on August 8, 2025. The funds will be utilized to improve community welfare across Indonesia through healthcare infrastructure development, stunting prevention, educational facility provision, and blood donation activities.
