The Indonesian capital market has officially recorded a new milestone as the number of investors surpassed 20 million, reaching exactly 20,042,365 Single Investor Identifications (SID) as of Wednesday (17/12). This figure represents a 34.8% increase, or an addition of 5,170,726 SIDs from the 14,871,639 SIDs recorded at the end of 2024.
The number of stock investors also saw a significant surge, reaching 8,461,938 SIDs, up 32.6% or an increase of 2,080,494 SIDs compared to 6,381,444 SIDs at the close of 2024. This achievement serves as tangible proof of consistent national education efforts and the growing public confidence in Indonesia’s capital market.
Jeffrey Hendrik, Director of Development at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), stated that the growth in the number of investors indicates that the literacy, inclusion, activation, and digital education initiatives carried out by the IDX have been effective. “We are seeing that public interest in investing is becoming more inclusive and widespread, as access to education can now be enjoyed by people across various regions of Indonesia,” Jeffrey said on Wednesday (17/12).
This achievement is inseparable from the role of the IDX education network spread throughout Indonesia, consisting of nearly 1,000 IDX Investment Galleries (GI) and 29 IDX Representative Offices. These efforts are also supported by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Self-Regulatory Organizations (SROs), and all other capital market stakeholders. The presence of equitable educational infrastructure ensures that access to literacy and investment opportunities is no longer concentrated in major cities but is distributed across all regions in Indonesia.
