The Ministry of Creative Economy, in collaboration with IDX, is strengthening capital market access for creative economy practitioners.
Collaboration with IDX opens opportunities for creative economy actors to understand the capital market and leverage creativity as investment.
RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Access to funding is one of the main focuses in developing Indonesia’s creative economy. The government and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) are strengthening cooperation to enable more creative economy actors to utilize the capital market to expand their businesses.
This initiative was discussed during a meeting between the Ministry of Creative Economy and the IDX in Jakarta on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. The meeting aimed to build a sustainable financing ecosystem while creating opportunities for creative economy actors to scale up to larger-scale business operations.
Creative Economy Minister Teuku Riefky Harsya emphasized that the sector is being positioned as a new engine of economic growth for Indonesia, with contributions from various regions, not just major cities.
“Indonesia’s potential for creativity, innovation, and cultural strength must be supported by a comprehensive ecosystem, including access to funding and investment, so that creative economy practitioners can develop sustainably,” Minister Riefky said in a press release in Jakarta, as quoted on the ministry’s official website on Thursday, June 11, 2026.
Ministry data shows that investment in the creative economy sector in 2025 reached IDR 183 trillion (approximately USD 10.17 billion), up 32.33 percent from the previous year. The sector also employed 27.4 million workers and contributed to strengthening the middle class.
“The Ministry is focused on encouraging established creative economy practitioners to scale up into national companies, and even global enterprises. Collaboration with IDX opens opportunities for more creative economy practitioners to understand the capital market and be ready to leverage creativity as a source of investment,” Minister Riefky explained.
IDX Acting President Director Jeffrey Hendrik stated that IDX is prepared to expand the participation of creative economy subsectors in the capital market. These efforts build on existing financial literacy and mentoring programs, such as KreatIPO, previously implemented in partnership with the Ministry.
“We certainly welcome creative economy practitioners to join the capital market, whether as investors to benefit from its growth or as publicly listed companies to raise funds and expand their businesses,” Jeffrey said.
He added that IDX has gained a better understanding of business models in the creative industry. “We hope collaboration between IDX and the Ministry can begin by enhancing education, awareness, and understanding among creative economy practitioners, so that more entrepreneurs can list on the IDX,” he said. ***
