Danantara Welcomes BEI Demutualization, Opens Opportunity to Become Shareholders

JAKARTA - As part of the reform of the Indonesian capital market, the Anagata Nusantara Power Investment Management Agency (Danantara Indonesia) is ready to follow the demutualization policy of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).

"We will first follow the demutualization process, then of course after that we will see the amount, the percentage of the shares," said Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani in Jakarta, Saturday, quoted from ANTARA.

According to Rosan, of course not only Danantara, but also from other world financial institutions will be opened.

"Later we will see what the best is like," he said.

For information, the government is speeding up the completion of the demutualization rules of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) so that it can be processed in 2026.

This step is considered important to strengthen governance, increase transparency, and reduce the potential for conflicts of interest in the capital market.

Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto said the demutualization of the stock exchange could be a structural transformation to separate the interests between the exchange managers and exchange members, which have been limited to securities companies.

With this separation, the independence of the exchange management is expected to be stronger.

Airlangga explained that during the membership-based stock exchange, the position of directors and managers could be influenced by exchange members consisting of various different securities companies.

Therefore, after the demutualization, the ownership structure will be more open so that the management of the exchange will be more independent.

Meanwhile, Danantara Indonesia expressed interest in becoming one of the shareholders of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) after the demutualization of the stock exchange was implemented.

Danantara CEO Rosan Roeslani welcomed the plan to accelerate the demutualization of the IDX as part of the structural transformation of the national capital market and strengthening the governance of the exchange.

Regarding the scheme of entry, whether through a public offering of shares (IPO) or other mechanisms, Rosan said that it was still being studied to see the best structure prepared in the demutualization process.
