BEI Publishes Data on Share Ownership Below 5 Percent Starting February 2026

JAKARTA - PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) stated its commitment to increasing transparency in the Indonesian capital market, one of its efforts through the publication of data on share ownership below 5 percent in listed companies (emissaries).

Director of Development of the Indonesia Stock Exchange Jeffrey Hendrik said the commitment to transparency of share ownership data was targeted to be implemented in early February 2026.

"We will increase the disclosure of share ownership data in a more transparent manner, including for share ownership data or shareholder shares below 5 percent, so that it will be equivalent to other global exchanges. We will implement this in early February 2026," said Jeffrey in the Capital Market Actors Dialogue at the BEI Main Hall, Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Sunday, February 1.

In addition, the IDX together with PT Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia (KSEI) will increase the classification of investor types in more detail, so that clarity on investors who transact in the Indonesian capital market will be clearer and more comprehensive.

"To increase the type of investors from the current nine SID categories, it will be adjusted to Global Best Practice. Therefore, we will add other categories in the investor classification according to the categories expected by MSCI. This includes classifications such as SWF, PE (Private Equity), Investment Advisor, Discretionary Fund, and others," said Jeffrey.

He ensured that the IDX and the Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) would begin to carry out socialization to market participants starting next week, and asked market participants, bank custodians, and all stakeholders to remap the investor classification needs.

"We hope that this process can be completed by April 2026, before the timeline set by MSCI," said Jeffrey.

In addition, his party ensured that the IDX would continue to carry out socialization regarding the latest developments and strategic steps taken by all market participants, both domestic and foreign, as an effort to provide clarity and provide certainty regarding the investment climate in the Indonesian capital market.

On this occasion, Jeffrey explained that these steps were taken as an effort to increase the weight of shares in Indonesia, so that they would be included in the global index constituents.

As Indonesian stocks enter global index constituents, it will encourage foreign investors to re-enter the Indonesian stock market.

"What we will do is to deepen the demand side, especially to attract more foreign investors to enter with the addition of Indonesia's weight in the global constituent," said Jeffrey.

On this occasion, he ensured that the operations of the IDX would continue to run normally without any disruption, including the readiness of the trading system, services to all stakeholders, and the decision-making process.

In terms of market penetration, he ensured that the IDX continued to communicate with global index providers, including Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI).

"In the context of market deepening, in terms of demand, especially how to bring in more global investors. We have accommodated many concerns from global index providers, and we have communicated with several index providers. Last week we also communicated with FTSE, and tomorrow we will communicate again with MSCI," said Jeffrey.
