Parliament Commission Monitors Steps to Improve Indonesian Stock Exchange Image and MSCI Issue

Jakarta – The Chair of Commission XI of the Indonesian Parliament, Mukhamad Misbakhun, has urged government efforts to attract investment from both domestic and foreign sources as a driver of economic growth and job creation.

One key challenge facing Indonesia in attracting foreign investment is creating a conducive investment climate characterised by legal certainty, political stability, and fiscal incentives.

Misbakhun noted that Indonesia’s political stability remains well-maintained, and the government has ensured its commitment to addressing various investment barriers as a guarantee for investment in the country.

Commission XI is also paying close attention to volatility in the Indonesian capital market related to assessments by rating agencies MSCI and Moody’s. Consequently, Parliament is encouraging the role of relevant authorities and institutions in managing such sentiment to restore investor confidence in the Indonesian market.

The discussion explored what measures Indonesia needs to strengthen its investment competitiveness domestically, featuring a dialogue between Syarifah Rahma and Mukhamad Misbakhun, Chair of Commission XI, on CNBC Indonesia’s Power Lunch programme.
