Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Amid lingering global uncertainties, from\ngeopolitical conflicts pressuring oil prices to trade tariffs impacting\nemerging market sentiment, and IHSG volatility that once hit low levels,\none reasonable question arises: is investing in Indonesian stocks still\nworthwhile now? The answer: this is precisely the momentum.<\/p>\n

The number of Single Investor Identification (SID) accounts in\nIndonesia\u2019s capital market reached 20.32 million (+37% year-on-year).\nActive stock investors rose 32.6% to 8.46 million SIDs. The average\ndaily transaction value on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) in March\n2026 remained solid at Rp20.66 trillion, indicating the market is merely\ndiscounted. Analysts predict the IHSG could rise 8-10% in 2026, driven\nby domestic demand and investor confidence.<\/p>\n

Indonesia\u2019s economic growth in the first quarter of 2026 is projected\nat 5.05%, boosted by household consumption due to Ramadan and Eid\nal-Fitr. The Finance Minister projects 5.5%-6%, supported by accelerated\ngovernment spending (Rp809 trillion), including stimulus and civil\nservant bonuses (THR ASN).<\/p>\n

The IMF has raised its 2026 projection to 5.1%, based on strong\ndomestic consumption, macroeconomic stability, and an improving\ninvestment climate.<\/p>\n

Danantara, the sovereign wealth fund with US$14 billion in firepower\nin 2026, led by CEO Rosan Roeslani and CIO Pandu Sjahrir, will park BUMN\ndividends in the capital market. According to Fitch Research, Danantara\ncould receive dividend income exceeding Rp140 trillion by 2026, which\ncan be used to strengthen Indonesia\u2019s capital market.<\/p>\n

The appropriate response to all this sentiment? An agile, adaptive,\npro-innovation investment approach, without compromising on risk\nmanagement.<\/p>\n
