Indonesia's OJK Foresees Robust Capital Market Fundraising in 2026

Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) anticipates robust capital market fundraising in 2026. OJK Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mahendra Sinta expressed optimism that fundraising in the capital market in 2026 will surpass the performance of 2025. While specific figures were not disclosed at this time, the optimistic outlook is underpinned by the recovering economic trend and improved investor sentiment. The Indonesian economy continues its gradual recovery, supported by strong domestic demand, despite global economic uncertainties. The government is committed to policies aimed at attracting domestic and foreign investment through infrastructure development and regulatory reforms, which are expected to contribute to capital market revitalization. Fundraising through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and bond issuances, in particular, will serve as crucial avenues for corporate capital expenditure and business expansion. The OJK plans to support the sustainable growth of the capital market by strengthening its supervisory framework to enhance market transparency and credibility, while striving for investor protection. "We are confident that the capital market will play a significant role in driving Indonesia's economic growth. We will continue to work on improving the market environment to make it easier for companies to raise growth capital," Mahendra stated. Source: Antara News (English)
