Four Packages of BEI Director Candidates Circulate, OJK Stresses Not Yet Officially Submitted

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has clarified that the list of candidates for the board of directors of PT Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) for the 2026–2030 period circulating in public is not yet official.

Several names have emerged in the public domain within four candidate packages. These packages are associated with Laksono Widodo, Jeffrey Hendrik, Iding Pardi, and Edwin Ridwan.

The Executive Head of Capital Market, Derivative Finance, and Carbon Exchange Supervision at OJK, Hasan Fawzi, stated that the nomination process has not yet fully commenced. The reference data was only closed on 31 March 2026.

“Not yet. The data cutoff was just yesterday, 31 March. So the one-year period of data serving as the basis for eligibility or authority to nominate candidates by exchange members is from last April to this March, one year,” Hasan said when met at the BEI building on Thursday (2/4/2026).

“The data is fresh from yesterday. Now they know their voting rights or representation percentage based on transaction value and activity. After this, we entrust them to conduct research, review, and examination,” he explained.

OJK has urged exchange members to be selective in proposing candidates. The evaluation process must focus on competence and integrity.

“Their competence must be solid, and their integrity must be strong. That is their duty as exchange members. Only after a mature package of worthy candidates is formed do we hope it will be submitted to OJK at the appropriate time,” Hasan elaborated.

OJK emphasised that the selection process must involve a comprehensive review of candidates’ track records. Aspects of professionalism and capability are the primary criteria before official submission.
