RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta -  The Indonesian Issuers Association (AEI) has declared its full support for the Financial Services Authority’s (OJK) initiative to accelerate capital market integrity reforms. The support is considered crucial to strengthening national capital market competitiveness and boosting investor confidence.

AEI Chairman Armand Wahyudi Hartono said issuers recognize the urgency of reforming the capital market to enhance transparency, liquidity, and sustainability. 

He noted that reform policies should be implemented gradually, taking into account market and issuer readiness. “In general, we support the OJK and the Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO). We support efforts to make the capital market more resilient,” Armand said during a meeting between AEI and OJK at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Building in Jakarta on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

Armand added that improving governance and information disclosure will have a long-term positive impact on issuers. He emphasized that ongoing dialogue between regulators and industry players is essential to ensure that policies are implemented in a balanced manner.

OJK Acting Chief Executive of Capital Market Supervision, Hasan Fawzi, welcomed AEI’s commitment, stressing that issuer support is a key factor in the success of capital market reform. 

Hasan explained that the reform does not only include a policy to increase the free float to 15 percent. It is also accompanied by greater transparency in share ownership, improved investor classification, and increased financial literacy. “This support is not only related to increasing free float. It also covers several key pillars of strengthening market integrity,” Hasan said.

He noted that policy implementation will be carried out carefully, progressively, and measurably, with consideration of market conditions. The OJK and IDX are preparing assistance for issuers to ensure the adjustment process proceeds smoothly.

The meeting between OJK and AEI reflects the alignment between regulators and industry players. Capital market reforms are expected to strengthen market structure, expand the investor base, and make Indonesia’s capital market more attractive globally. (Gusti Panji/Lasti Martina)
