ICH Ensures Safe and Transparent Derivative Transactions Through e-CITRA Platform
JAKARTA, investortrust.id - The existence of a clearing house within the commodity futures and derivatives trading ecosystem is considered to play an important role, particularly in protecting the public. This institution, which handles guaranteeing and settling transactions, has the duty to ensure that transactions conducted by the public in the commodity futures and derivatives trading ecosystem proceed in accordance with existing regulations.
“In the world of investment, protecting the public—in this case, customers or investors—is undoubtedly one of the main pillars. With a protected public, it will build trust from the community, which will ultimately support the growth of the investment world in Indonesia. This also presents a challenge for the clearing house to continuously maintain its integrity and transparency, not only for public protection but also on a broader scale to support investment growth in Indonesia,” said Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Islam Nusantara Bandung, Yoyok Prasetyo, in a press release on Wednesday (13/5/2026).
“One of our functions, particularly in commodity futures and derivatives trading, is to maintain market transparency and integrity. We carry this out by ensuring that all transactions are recorded accurately and there is no price manipulation or actions that harm other parties. The function we perform is to maintain public trust in the market,” said Director of Indonesia Clearing House (ICH), Yugieandy Tirta Saputra.
Yugieandy added that currently, ICH serves as the clearing house for transactions occurring at the Indonesia Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (ICDX) or the Indonesia Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (BKDI). In its operational activities, ICH has prepared a platform called Clearing Info of Trade (e-CITRA), which can be utilised by the public to track their transactions being processed at ICH. With this platform, the public can view transaction data for up to 90 days back. The existence of this platform also provides convenience for customers to validate the accuracy of the transactions they report.
“As a clearing house, ICH in its operational activities has met all global clearing house standards, enabling all supervisory functions to run well and customer protection functions to be maximised. This is also marked by ICH’s ISO 27001 certification for Information Security Management System (ISMS),” he stated.
As a note, ICH currently has three regulators: the Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency (Bappebti), Bank Indonesia, and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency (Bappebti) acts as the supervisor for physical commodity market trading and commodity-based derivatives, Bank Indonesia for Money Market and Foreign Exchange (PUVA) derivatives trading, and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) for securities-based derivatives trading.
