JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) and London
\nStock Exchange (LSE) will soon cooperate in fields of information
\nand technology.<\/p>\n
The memorandum of understanding on the cooperation was signed
\nby Felia Salim, the research and development director of the JSX,
\nand John Camp, the LSE chairman, in London Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Felia said that the cooperation will include exchanges of
\nstaff, technology and information as well as a joint training
\nprogram.<\/p>\n
An Indonesian capital market mission, including Felia and
\nChairman of the Capital Market Supervisory Agency (Bapepam)
\nBacelius Ruru, is visiting London as part of its one-week
\nEuropean tour to promote the Indonesian capital market.<\/p>\n
Felia expected that the cooperation agreement would enable the
\nJSX to learn stock trading expertise from the LSE, one of the
\nmost important stock exchanges in the world.<\/p>\n
"The LSE, in return, could get important information from the
\nJSX," she said of the benefits of the cooperation agreement.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Ruru said that the British government is assessing
\nthe possibility of expanding bilateral cooperation with
\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
The British government, for example, expects the Indonesian
\ngovernment to float shares of state-owned companies on the LSE,
\nRuru told Antara following a meeting with Anthony Nelson, the
\nEconomic Secretary of Britain' Treasury.<\/p>\n
The Indonesian government is now preparing the initial public
\noffering of three major state companies including PT Telkom, the
\nprovider of domestic telecommunication services, PT Jasa Marga,
\nthe toll operator, and a subsidiary of the state electricity
\ncompany PLN. The three companies will be also listed on
\ninternational stock exchanges, following the successful debut of
\nPT Indosat on the New York Stock Exchange last month. (hen)<\/p>",
