OJK Clarifies No Launch Date Set for Gold ETF, Still in Implementation Phase

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has clarified that the investment instrument Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) for gold will not be launched in the near future.

This responds to reports in several media outlets stating that OJK would launch the gold ETF on 27 April 2026.

OJK’s Public Communications Directorate stated that OJK cannot yet confirm when the gold ETF will be launched, as this investment instrument is still in the implementation phase.

“To date, what OJK has conveyed is that the development of the Gold ETF has entered the implementation stage, and there has been no announcement regarding a specific launch date,” OJK wrote in a press release on Friday (3/4/2026).

PINTAR Mutual Funds is a periodic mutual fund investment programme or systematic investment plan (SIP) aimed at expanding the retail investor base.

For information, a gold ETF is a capital market product that typically holds physical gold (physical-backed) or futures contracts, with its units traded on the exchange like ordinary shares.

Previously reported, the Head of the Capital Market Supervisory Executive for Derivatives and Carbon Exchange OJK, Hasan Fawzi, said that the provisions related to the issuance of gold ETFs have been issued and are now entering the implementation stage.

The presence of this instrument is expected to increase retail investor participation in the capital markets.

“We have issued and implemented the provisions related to the issuance of gold ETFs, which have now entered the implementation stage,” Hasan said during a press conference at the Indonesia Stock Exchange building in Jakarta on Thursday (2/4/2026).

OJK, together with the Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) and all stakeholders, will also continue to promote balanced market deepening, both from the supply and demand sides.

These efforts are carried out through the development of innovative investment instruments while still considering risk mitigation aspects and investor protection.

“OJK, together with the SRO and all actors and stakeholders, will continue to promote market deepening going forward, of course in a balanced manner from both the supply and demand sides, through innovations in development and also balancing with risk mitigation and protection for our investors,” Hasan stated.
