BEI Chief Confident Indonesia to Enter Top 10 Global Exchanges Through Demutualisation

Jakarta — The Acting Director General of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) Jeffrey Hendrik has revealed that BEI is among the major capital market exchanges worldwide that has not yet undertaken demutualisation.

Demutualisation is a structural transformation whereby BEI transitions from a membership-based organisation or Self Regulatory Organisation (SRO) owned by securities firms or exchange members, to a corporate entity that can be owned by the public or other parties.

“We observe that among all major exchanges globally, BEI is one of those that has not yet undergone demutualisation,” Hendrik stated during the CNBC Market Outlook 2026 event held at BEI headquarters on Tuesday, 3 March 2026.

Hendrik noted that given Indonesia’s current capital market conditions, the Indonesian exchange ranks among the world’s 20 largest exchanges, as evidenced by its substantial daily transaction volumes.

Following demutualisation, Hendrik indicated that BEI is optimistic the performance of the domestic exchange will become more modern, agile, and professional. This process would also open opportunities for businesses and relevant stakeholders.

“We hope that with demutualisation, which will be carefully considered over the next 4-5 years, we can achieve a position within the world’s top 10 exchanges,” he concluded.
