PT Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) has confirmed that its\ninfrastructure systems and exchange regulations are prepared to manage\nstock market volatility resulting from the Iran versus Israel-United\nStates conflict. Acting Chief Director of BEI Jeffrey Hendrik stated\nthat volatility in the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) stems from\nglobal market upheaval affecting international stock exchanges.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we observe, external factors currently occurring are creating\nextremely high uncertainty. Not only in our market, but also in the\nglobal market,\u201d said Jeffrey, as quoted by Antara on Monday, 9 March\n2026.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey explained that Indonesia\u2019s current stock market volatility\nfollows a pattern similar to the pressures experienced in April 2025. He\nrecalled that the April 2025 turmoil was caused by United States\nPresident Donald Trump\u2019s reciprocal tariff policy, which exerted\nsignificant pressure on stock markets, particularly emerging markets\nincluding Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, when we compare with the phenomenon that occurred last year\nin April, where the US also issued an unexpected policy that resulted in\na very sharp market decline, it also caused much greater pressure,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
According to him, the pressure on Indonesia\u2019s stock market last year\nwas considerably greater compared to current conditions. He assured that\nIndonesia\u2019s capital market infrastructure and regulations are prepared\nto handle the pressures arising from economic and political\nvolatility.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we experienced at that time was worse in terms of market\ncontext than today. Therefore, our exchange\u2019s infrastructure systems and\nregulations are already prepared to handle the current market dynamics,\u201d\nsaid Jeffrey.<\/p>\n
