Jakarta – The number of investors in Indonesia’s capital market has once again set a new record, reaching 17,016,329 Single Investor Identification (SID) as of Thursday (July 3). This achievement indicates that the growth in the number of investors has surpassed the target of 2 million new investors set by PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX) for 2025. The number of capital market investors has increased by 2,144,690 SID (11.42%) compared to the end of 2024, which stood at 14,871,639 SID.
Since 2020, the number of investors in Indonesia’s capital market has continued to grow rapidly. In 2020, the number of investors was recorded at 3.8 million SID. This figure then grew by 93%, adding 3.6 million SID to reach 7.4 million SID in 2021. In 2022, the number of investors increased by 38%, or 2.8 million SID, reaching 10.3 million SID.

One of IDX’s main strategies to encourage investor growth is by actively collaborating with all stakeholders to enhance public financial literacy through massive, continuous, and adaptive education and socialization efforts that keep pace with developments in the times. Throughout the first half of 2025, IDX has conducted 8,922 educational activities, both online and offline. Various educational programs have been carried out by IDX through its Areas and Representative Offices across Indonesia. These activities include the Stock Market School (SPM) Levels 1 to 3, webinars, seminars, and workshops reaching various segments of society.
IDX sees significant potential for further investor growth in Indonesia. IDX Development Director Jeffrey Hendrik stated that compared to the population of Indonesia, the current number of capital market investors is still relatively low. However, the development of digital technology and the ease of access to investment services from securities companies have become key factors in encouraging the public to become investors more easily. According to Jeffrey, the existence of IDX Investment Galleries is one of the key pillars in developing capital market literacy in various regions. Currently, there are nearly 1,000 IDX Investment Galleries spread across Indonesia.
Considering this achievement, IDX will not stop pushing for investor growth. To maintain this momentum amid the dynamics of market sentiment both from within and outside the country, IDX will continue to commit to adaptive educational efforts and strengthen collaborations and communication with stakeholders, including industry players, securities companies, associations, academics, communities, and the media. Through synergy, collaboration, and consistent education, IDX is optimistic that the growth in the number of investors will continue and become more widespread throughout Indonesia.
