Jakarta — Indonesia is planning to strengthen its capital market and increase its appeal towards global investors by organizing an Investor Advisory Group, a new initiative supported by the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
The announcement came from Hasan Fawzi, Chief Executive of the Capital Market, Financial Derivatives, and Carbon Exchange Supervisor at the Financial Services Authority.
Mr. Fauzi explained that the advisory group will act as a formal communication channel between Indonesian regulators and large-scale global investors.
Virtual Launch with MSCI and Global Funds
The first virtual meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, 2026, with key observers such as index provider MSCI and other large-scale international investors present.
“We are being fully assisted by the World Bank and IFC to form this Investor Advisory Group, which we had previously planned,” Mr. Fawzi told reporters in Jakarta on Monday.
Going forward, the Financial Services Authority plans to use this forum as a platform for ongoing discussions with major international investors. Hasan hopes that through this meeting, his team is able to receive direct updates regarding the advancements and successes Indonesia has achieved in its ongoing capital market reforms.
This forum serves as a platform for Indonesia to receive direct updates on the advancements and achievements of the ongoing capital market reforms. Regulators are primarily focused on governance, transparency, and harmonizing with best practices from leading global stock exchanges.
Aiming for Trust and Long-Term Investment
The Financial Services Authority official emphasized that the effort is part of a wider drive to improve market integrity. “We will not hesitate, and we will never back down. We will continue to push for greater integrity in our capital market so that the level of acceptance and trust from investors — not only domestic but also global— continues to grow,” Mr. Fawzi said.
He further noted that this initiative will be informed by comparisons and best-practice standards implemented in other leading stock exchanges globally. The objective is to increase acceptance and enhance trust among both domestic and institutional investors, thus encouraging them to relocate more funds into stocks, mutual funds, and bonds rather than temporary instruments.
“Of course, armed with comparisons and best-practice standards applied in other leading stock exchanges, we hope to achieve this so that our capital market becomes an attractive investment destination for all investors,” Mr. Fawzi concluded.
Through this collaborative effort with the World Bank and IFC, Indonesia aims to position its stock exchange as a trusted and attractive investment destination in the global arena.
