IDX Central Sulawesi and Hannah Asa Strengthen Investment Literacy for the Younger Generation
Palu (ANTARA) - PT Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Central Sulawesi Representative Office, in collaboration with Hannah Asa Indonesia, is working to strengthen investment literacy for the younger generation in the region.
Head of the IDX Central Sulawesi Representative Office, Putri Irnawati, in Palu on Wednesday, stated that investment is a long-term process that must be underpinned by a strong understanding.
“Investment is about managing assets to yield results in the future, but it always comes with risks. Therefore, investors must understand the products, mechanisms, and risks involved, rather than simply following trends,” she said.
For this reason, her office and the Hannah Asa Indonesia community, which focuses on financial literacy, are collaborating to organise the Bootcamp Smart Financial Journey, which is also linked to Kartini Day commemorations, to boost investment literacy and financial understanding among the youth.
In this training, participants not only receive theoretical education but are also guided to understand investment basics, recognise risk profiles, and start investing through practical sessions in “Get Started With Bibit”.
Additionally, she said, IDX continues to conduct outreach and education to the public through investment galleries.
Her office also consistently educates the public about bogus investments, emphasising that prospective capital market investors must understand the characteristics of legitimate investments to avoid falling into misleading schemes.
By December 2025, the number of registered capital market investors in Central Sulawesi under the Single Investor Identification (SID) reached 216,045 SID, up from 144,159 SID in December 2024.
Mutual funds remain the dominant instrument with 164,562 SID, or about 76.17 percent of total investors. Meanwhile, stock investors increased to 42,271 SID from 29,198 SID the previous year. Government Securities (SBN) investors also rose to 4,212 SID from 3,282 SID previously.
Meanwhile, Founder of Hannah Asa Indonesia, Mardiyah, said that this programme is not just training but part of a broader movement.
According to her, the current challenge is no longer about financial access but the quality of financial decisions.
Therefore, her side aims to produce a generation that not only can invest but also understands and educates others.
“This year, we target the emergence of 1,000 financial literacy educators from Eastern Indonesia who can become agents of change in society,” she stated.
