KSEI: Growth in SID reflects high public interest in investing

The Indonesian Central Securities Depository (KSEI) assesses that the growth of Single Investor Identification (SID) investors in the Indonesian capital market reflects the public’s high interest in starting to invest.

Referring to a report from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the number of Indonesian capital market investors grew 47.63 percent year to date (ytd) to reach 30.06 million SIDs by the end of July 2026.

“This achievement shows the growing desire of the public to start investing in the Indonesian capital market,” said KSEI Director of Settlement, Depository and Supervision Eqy Essiqy in Jakarta on Friday.

The growth trend in the number of investors in the Indonesian capital market, he continued, is in line with the results of various deepening initiatives and efforts to strengthen the digital ecosystem in the capital market industry.

“This capital market growth is built on cooperation between institutions, from SROs, securities companies, banking, and all stakeholders who certainly share the same mission to advance the capital market in Indonesia,” he said.

This collaboration between parties, Eqy continued, has produced various interesting innovations to make it easier for the public to access the Indonesian capital market.

“KSEI certainly always supports various innovations that remain based on the principles of security, efficiency, transparency, and of course investor protection,” he said.

Eqy added that KSEI also believes that the stronger the collaboration among industry players, the stronger the foundation of the capital market ecosystem in Indonesia.

“Thus, the increase in the number of investors is also aligned with investors who actively understand investment risks and have confidence in the integrity of the Indonesian capital market,” he said.
