IDX Targets Increase in Active Sharia Stock Investors in 2026

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - The number of stock investors in Indonesia’s sharia capital market has reached 217,157, marking a 28.2 percent increase over the past five years. However, only around 20 percent, or 43,135 investors, actively conduct transactions.

To address this, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Sharia Capital Market Division is seeking to increase the proportion of active investors from 20 percent to 30 percent.

“We are targeting the number of active investors, because we believe that the more active investors there are, the higher the transaction value will be,” IDX Sharia Capital Market Deputy Director Irwan Abdalloh said during an educational session for capital market journalists on Thursday, February 26, 2026.

Irwan said the transaction value of Sharia investors reached IDR 11.2 trillion as of December 2025. The figure increased compared with 2024 but remained below the level recorded in 2021. “Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the transaction value was higher,” he said. He added that efforts to increase the number of active investors by 10 percent had been significant.

“The main effort is to develop programs targeting investors who already have accounts so they actively trade. We also provide incentives through community channels or by collaborating with successful investors,” Irwan said.

Through these measures, IDX expects the proportion of active investors to rise by 10 percentage points to reach 30 percent this year. The increase is also expected to boost transaction value.

“We expect the transaction value to reach IDR 13 trillion, or at least match the level during COVID-19, which was IDR 12.5 trillion,” he said.

Meanwhile, the volume of sharia stock transactions in 2025 reached 30.6 billion shares, with a trading frequency of 2.7 million transactions.

The Sharia Stock Index rose 43.1 percent in 2025, outperforming the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI), which increased by 22.1 percent.

The five sectors with the largest number of sharia-listed shares were non-primary consumer goods, primary consumer goods, raw materials, energy, and property and real estate. (Gusti Panji/Lasti Martina)
