IDX Joins ‘$1 Billion Club’ as Capital Market Investors Surpass 19 Million
Jakarta. Indonesia’s capital market has reached a new milestone, with the number of investors surpassing 19 million this year, driven by growing public participation and robust trading activity that now exceeds $1 billion in daily transactions.
As of Monday, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) recorded 19.04 million investors, an increase of 4.2 million since the beginning of the year, more than double its annual target of 2 million new investors.
“Our target was 2 million, but by October, we’ve already gained 4.2 million. That’s more than twice what we expected,” IDX Development Director Jeffrey Hendrik told reporters at the exchange on Monday.
The surge reflects strong public interest in stocks, mutual funds, and other listed instruments, supported by digital investment platforms and improving financial literacy.
Beyond investor growth, Indonesia has officially entered the “$1 Billion Exchange” group -a designation for markets with an average daily trading value above $1 billion, or around Rp 16.4 trillion. The achievement puts Indonesia alongside Singapore and Thailand in the ASEAN region. Average daily trading value at the IDX reached Rp 22.28 trillion as of last Friday.
“The average daily transaction value this year has exceeded $1 billion. This is the first time Indonesia has joined the ranks of exchanges with such volume,” Jeffrey said, adding that the 2025 trading value target of Rp 13.5 trillion has also been surpassed.
Other members of the “$1 Billion Exchange” group include major bourses in China, India, South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States.
Last week, the benchmark Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) climbed 4.5 percent to close at 8,271.72, up from 7,915.66 a week earlier. Market capitalization rose 3.31 percent to Rp 15,234 trillion.
