Denpasar, Bali (ANTARA) - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has recorded that the value of share ownership in Bali Province reached Rp7.95 trillion in the first quarter of 2026. “This realisation grew significantly, by 48.40 per cent, compared to the same period in 2025, which was Rp5.35 trillion,” said Head of OJK Bali Parjiman in Denpasar, Bali, on Thursday. According to him, this realisation shows that share investors in Bali still maintain positive confidence, even though the global economy is affected by the world geopolitical crisis. The number of share investors as of March 2026, based on single investor identification (SID), reached 392,841 SIDs. This number grew by almost 30 per cent compared to March 2025, which reached 302,000 SIDs. The financial services regulator noted that all types of investors increased, including share investors, mutual fund investors, and government securities (SBN) investors. Mutual fund investors held the largest portion with 369,562 investors, followed by shares with 199,394 investors, and SBNs with 34,085 investors. “Share investors grew the highest, at 31.97 per cent,” he added. Based on the results of the 2025 National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK), the literacy and inclusion indices for the capital market sector still need to be continuously boosted, with realisations of 17.78 per cent and 1.34 per cent, respectively. In general, the financial literacy index nationwide reached 66.46 per cent and the financial inclusion index reached 80.51 per cent. These results increased compared to 2024, which showed a financial literacy index of 65.43 per cent and a financial inclusion index of 75.02 per cent. To boost the capital market in Bali, the regulator continues to encourage improvements in financial literacy and inclusion, which are among the priority targets for financial education within the Indonesian National Strategy for Financial Literacy. In order to narrow the gap between literacy and inclusion levels in Bali, the regulator continues to implement a mix of strategies carried out through face-to-face financial education, online education, strategic alliances, and thematic financial education.
