Education Becomes a Vital Foundation for the Growth of the Futures Trading Industry
The positive performance of non-oil and gas commodity trading continues to serve as a primary support for the industry. Amidst the growth of the digital economy and increasing public interest in alternative investment instruments, the commodity futures trading industry is considered to have an increasingly strategic role in supporting national financial literacy.
This momentum was reflected during the 27th anniversary celebrations of PT Didi Max Berjangka (Didimax). The commodity futures trading firm received appreciation from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti) for its contribution to supporting the development of a healthy and sustainable futures trading industry in Indonesia.
The Head of Bappebti, Tirta Karma Senjaya, expressed his appreciation for Didimax’s long journey of consistently supporting industry growth for nearly three decades. “On behalf of the Bappebti family, we congratulate PT Didi Max Berjangka on its 27th anniversary. Thank you for your dedication and real contribution over the past 27 years in supporting the development of the commodity futures industry in Indonesia,” Tirta stated in Jakarta on Wednesday (3/6/2026).
According to Tirta, this serves as an important signal that the futures trading industry is now viewed not only as an investment sector but also as a component in strengthening the economic ecosystem and public financial literacy.
The President Commissioner of Didimax, Yadi Supriyadi, stated that throughout its 27 years of operation, Didimax has continued to strengthen service quality while expanding public education regarding legal futures trading under regulatory supervision. He noted that the company’s longevity is inseparable from client trust, regulatory support, and the company’s commitment to maintaining professionalism amidst the dynamics of the financial industry.
“Our 27th anniversary serves as a moment for reflection and motivation for us to continue growing. The appreciation from Bappebti is both an honour and an incentive for us to continue innovating, improving service quality, and contributing positively to the progress of the national commodity futures trading industry,” said Yadi.
He added that education is a vital foundation for the growth of the futures trading industry in Indonesia. Consequently, the company consistently organises various training programmes, seminars, webinars, and financial literacy initiatives to increase public understanding of legal and safe investments. “This step is relevant amidst the increasing public demand for easier access to digital investments, as well as the importance of consumer protection against illegal investment practices,” he noted.
As it enters its 27th year, Didimax also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening corporate governance, enhancing the use of technology, and supporting the creation of a modern and trustworthy futures trading ecosystem. “Our long journey reflects how the commodity futures trading industry continues to transform in line with economic and technological changes. With the support of regulators and increasing public awareness of financial literacy, this sector is seen as having great potential to grow further and contribute to national economic growth,” Yadi added.
He expressed optimism that through collaboration between regulators, industry players, and the public, the Indonesian futures trading industry can grow to be more competitive, high-integrity, and adaptive to future digital economic challenges.
