TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) continues to record significant growth. Daily trading activities are also very high.
This was revealed at the Non-Stock Product Workshop at IDX held by the IDX Representative of Central Java 2 in Tawangmangu, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java on Thursday, October 2, 2025.
This information was disclosed by Jeffrey Hendrik, the IDX Director of Development, while attending the workshop on Thursday, October 2, 2025. "Our capital market is very unique. In April 2025, after the Eid al-Fitr holiday, the market dropped. This was because at that time, the President of the United States (Donald Trump) announced reciprocal tariffs that caused stock markets around the world to be volatile."
However, in the same year, Jeffrey revealed that the Indonesian capital market recorded its highest historical index. It also marked the highest level for market capitalization. As of the beginning of August 2025, IDX's market capitalization had reached Rp13,400 trillion, placing Indonesia among the top 20 largest stock exchanges in the world. This makes Indonesia the 11th largest stock exchange globally in terms of trading activities.
"Currently, if compared with other stock exchanges, our market capitalization is close to US$900 billion, making us the largest stock market in the Southeast Asia region," he said.
From the investor's perspective, Jeffrey mentioned that the growth has been extraordinary. He stated that as of Wednesday, October 1, 2025, there were already 3.7 million new investors. "Last year alone, there were 2.7 million new investors. So currently, we have 18.6 million investors in our capital market," he said.
Out of the 18.6 million, a total of 7.7 million are stock investors. From this number, 200 investors conduct daily transactions, and 1.6 million conduct annual transactions.
Jeffrey stated that these 18.6 million investors naturally have diverse investment needs. IDX continues to expand the types of investment products, not limited to stocks.
"There are investors who are already experienced, have sufficient investment capabilities, and can buy or access stocks from any group. But some investors may be experienced but have limited investment value," he said.
IDX has developed or will soon develop several new instruments, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), structured warrants, carbon exchanges, and short selling. They will also soon launch liquidity providers and repurchase agreements (repos).
Jeffrey mentioned that IDX is developing non-stock products to meet the needs of all investor segments, with the hope that investors can access and have exposure to all existing instruments.
The Head of IDX Central Java 2, Muhammad Wira Adibrata, said that the growth of stock investors in the Solo Raya working area also shows a positive trend. Previously, transactions were around Rp3 trillion, but now have reached Rp5 trillion per month. "Previously, the average number of new investors was around 2,500 to 3,000 per month, while in the last three months, we recorded an average of 5,000 new investors per month," said Wira.
