JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir met with the President Director of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX), Iman Rachman and his staff at the Ministry of SOEs Office, today. Iman previously served as Director of Strategy, Portfolio and Business Development of PT Pertamina (Persero). So what was discussed in the meeting? The meeting discussed the condition of the Indonesian stock market. One of them is about 1 million MSME customers. Iman said they could buy shares, open accounts and transact on the stock market. This makes retail investors more powerful in the domestic market. However, on that occasion, Iman also joked about the workload between the IDX and Pertamina. "A little picture of the exchange, I am more fluent in the stock exchange than Pertamina Pak," said Iman, quoted from official Instagram @erickthohir, Thursday, October 6. Responding to the joke, Erick said that the appointment of Iman as IDX Director did not contain elements of Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism (KKN) with him. "And there is no KKN, you know, there is no contact with me at all. There is no contact with me regarding the desire to other companies," said Erick. Even so, Erick admitted that he supports Iman to take part outside the state-owned agency. "In principle, we are happy if the best team or people in BUMN can support it more than organization or this is something else, it's also good for us," he said.
