IDX to Lower Minimum Share Price to Rp1 from 7 September 2026

PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) plans to adjust the minimum share price traded on the regular and cash markets from the current Rp50 per share to Rp1 per share. The policy is targeted for implementation on 7 September 2026.

BEI President Director Jeffrey Hendrik explained that the move aims to provide broader transaction space and improve the price discovery process in the market. “To provide better liquidity access and price discovery, we will remove the Rp50 minimum price limit,” Jeffrey said.

The exchange has held intensive discussions with the Indonesian Securities Companies Association (APEI), the Indonesian Investment Managers Association (AMII), and global investors on 19 August. The step was taken to ensure the readiness of market participants and trading platforms at Exchange Members (AB).

In addition to lowering the minimum price, BEI will also adjust the auto rejection classification. For shares with a price range of Rp1–Rp10, the Upper Auto Rejection (ARA) and Lower Auto Rejection (ARB) limits will be set at Rp1 based on nominal value, rather than a percentage.

Meanwhile, for shares above Rp10, the ARB provision is set at 15 percent. For ARA, shares in the Rp11–Rp200 range are subject to 35 percent, Rp201–Rp5,000 at 25 percent, and above Rp5,000 at 20 percent. These adjustments are expected to increase transaction frequency by two to three times.

In line with these changes, BEI also plans to remove several criteria from the Special Monitoring Board, including the criterion for shares with an average price below Rp51. System trials with Exchange Members are scheduled for 22 and 29 August 2026 before the policy officially takes effect the following month.
