progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – Out of the blue, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR), Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, made an unannounced visit to the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) building. He was accompanied by the Chairperson of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Friderica Widyasari Dewi, the CEO of Danantara, Rosan Roeslani, and the COO of Danantara, Dony Oskaria.

Sufmi Dasco’s unannounced visit was welcomed by the Chairperson of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Board of Commissioners, Friderica Widyasari Dewi, and the IDX’s Director of Corporate Valuation, I Gede Nyoman Yetna.

Sufmi Dasco’s visit was to discuss with the OJK, Danantara, and the IDX board of directors efforts to strengthen investor confidence and maintain the stability of the Indonesian capital market.

The meeting also discussed increasing the number of domestic retail investors and improving regulations to make investors feel more secure and comfortable investing in the capital market.

“We discussed how to ensure local investors continue to grow and develop. We also discussed how to improve regulations to ensure their comfort. We are confident that with the existing fundamentals, our stock exchange will become stronger, and we will see how it goes after May 29th,” said Sufmi Dasco in a press conference at the IDX.

He also explained, that he had listened to the IDX’s presentation regarding the current capital market conditions, including the steps the exchange has taken to continue strengthening the domestic stock market. Therefore, he believes the IDX will be even stronger in the future, despite the current pressures.

He also stated, that his visit aimed to provide direct support to the capital market authorities and to reassure investors so they don’t panic.

He also emphasized that the DPR will fully support the steps taken by the IDX and the OJK to maintain market stability.

Sufmi Dasco’s visit also demonstrated the House’s serious attention to the development of the national capital market amidst the dynamic global economic conditions.

The visit came just hours after the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) experienced a sharp decline of more than 6%, triggering a trading halt by the IDX during the first session.
