JAKARTA - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is preparing to launch a new investment instrument in the form of a gold Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) on 27 April 2026. This product is expected to expand the retail investor base while promoting the deepening of Indonesia’s capital market. OJK’s Executive Head of Capital Market, Financial Derivatives, and Carbon Exchange Supervision, Hasan Fawzi, stated that the provisions related to the issuance of gold ETFs have been issued and are currently entering the implementation stage, which will subsequently be applied in the domestic capital market. “For instance, in the recent supply, we have issued and enforced the provisions related to the issuance of gold ETFs, which are now in the implementation stage,” Hasan said during a press conference at the Indonesia Stock Exchange building in Jakarta on Thursday (2/4/2026). “We hope that this will expand the retail investor base; the final formulation is already in place, and the grand launch is planned for the end of this month, for example, on 27 April 2026,” he explained. OJK, together with the Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) and all stakeholders, will continue to promote balanced market deepening, both from the supply and demand sides. These efforts are being carried out through the development of innovative investment instruments that still consider aspects of risk mitigation and investor protection. “OJK, along with the SRO and all market participants and stakeholders, will continue to drive future market deepening in a balanced manner, both from the supply and demand sides, through innovations in development and balancing with risk mitigation and protection for our investors,” Hasan elaborated.
