IDX Educates State Civil Servants So They Don't Get Fooled By Fraudulent Investments

JAKARTA - The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is educating state civil servants (ASN) so they have a better understanding of safe investing.

This was carried out by IDX Central Java II which educated ASNs in the area. IDX Central Java II Office Head Wira Adibrata said education was carried out to prevent ASN from becoming victims of illegal investments.

In the Solo Smart Investment Safe or Solo Ceria Program, IDX is not alone, but also the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Surakarta Regional Financial Access Acceleration Team (TPAKD).

"We will educate and assist ASN in investing in stocks, mutual funds, and bonds. It is hoped that the Solo Ceria program will prevent illegal investments from entering Solo," he said, as reported by Antara.

When his party held a capital market seminar at the Surakarta City Hall some time ago, it turned out that there were many statements from ASNs who had been victims of fraudulent investments.

"That's why they want to be educated on how to invest properly so that they are no longer stuck but actually profitable," he said.

He said that with the education classes that were held on an ongoing basis, it was hoped that he would be able to ward off illegal investments from entering the city of Solo.

"Because we have provided them with an understanding of the right investment, starting from stocks, mutual funds, to bonds," he said.

Meanwhile, Surakarta OJK Head Eko Yunianto said the number of stock investors in Solo City had increased drastically. His party noted that the number of investors as of 2022 was 50,081 investors.

"This figure has increased from the previous year when there were still as many as 40,038 investors. This means that the interest of the people of Solo is increasing to invest in the capital market," he said.
