Close Communication Between Stakeholders Key to Capital Market Transparency and Reform

Jakarta – Indonesia’s capital market is now entering a new era of transformation and reform. Various transformation efforts are being undertaken to develop Indonesia’s capital market towards global standards.

This momentum was reflected in the Road to Investor Relations Forum (IRF) 2026 discussion with the theme “New Era of Capital Market Transparency”, held at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) Building in Jakarta.

Speakers included Acting Chief Executive Officer of BEI Jeffrey Hendrik; Chair of Commission XI of the House of Representatives (DPR), Mukhamad Misbakhun; Deputy Commissioner of Capital Market Supervision at the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Eddy Manindo Harahap; and capital market observer Hans Kwee.

Two discussion forums were held as part of the lead-up to Indonesia’s IRF 2026. The first discussion on the Road to Indonesia IRF 2026 was held on 10 March 2026 with the theme “New Era of Capital Market Transparency”. The second discussion on the Road to Indonesia IRF 2026 was held on 9 April 2026, focusing on “In-Depth Review of New Free-Float Threshold Policy”.

Mukhamad Misbakhun, Chair of Commission XI of the House of Representatives, appreciated the convening of the Road to Indonesia Investor Relations Forum (IRF) 2026 discussion, serving as a platform for positive communication between Self-Regulatory Organisations (SROs), society, investors, issuers, and the entire Indonesian capital market ecosystem.

“This is very important for building transparency,” said Misbakhun in his statement on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.

Eddy Manindo Harahap, Deputy Commissioner of Capital Market Supervision at OJK, stated that such communication forums are urgently needed, given the significant potential of the capital market in Southeast Asia. Indonesia’s capital market, according to him, is indeed ready to advance to become a globally competitive exchange.

“And indeed we need to be more transparent,” he said.

Similarly, Jeffrey Hendrik, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), acknowledged the importance of communicating what the exchange has already accomplished and its future plans.

For this reason, investor forums such as this are expected to provide understanding to society, investors, issuers, and the general public.

“Because right now is an important momentum to upgrade our capital market, and this is something we must always communicate,” he said.
