JAKARTA - The number of new listed companies (issuers) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) continues to grow. During this year until April 25, 2022, the number reached 19 issuers.

Of that amount, the total funds raised by issuers reached Rp. 18.3 trillion. This record makes IDX Director of Corporate Valuation I Gede Nyoman Yetna optimistic that more companies will raise funds in the capital market.

"Taking into account Indonesia's improving economic recovery and several capital market indicators which also show positive growth," Nyoman told reporters, Monday 9 May.

To ensure that hope is realized, Nyoman said, IDX seeks to provide convenience for all levels of companies to be able to raise funds in the capital market. Based on the current stock pipeline data, the company's interest in being able to raise funds in the Indonesian capital market is relatively conducive.
