JAKARTA - PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX) stated that the growth of new public companies in the Indonesian capital market until May 2023 was the highest compared to other countries in the world.

President Director of PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX) Iman Rachman explained that new public companies on the IDX recorded an increase of 4.7 percent year to date (ytd) to 40 public companies as of May 2023.

"As of May 2023, the number of new companies has been recorded at 40, even though it is not yet half a year. For new companies listed on our stock exchange to grow 4.7 percent (ytd), almost no one has grown positively by more than 4.7 percent (ytd), from existing listed companies," said Iman quoting Antara.

Meanwhile, new public companies on the ASEAN state stock exchange, the Malaysian stock exchange grew 0.9 percent (ytd), and Thailand grew 1.4 percent (ytd).

"So, Indonesia, whose new company growth was recorded as the largest and most until May 2023. Our target last year was that 59 companies were registered, this year 57 companies were registered, and it turns out that this is more than 40 companies," said Iman.

Along with this growth, in terms of the number of public companies, the World Federation of Exchange noted, the IDX was in second place among other ASEAN countries, after the Malaysian stock exchange, namely 864 companies as of May 2023, while Malaysia as many as 989 companies were listed.

Meanwhile, the IPO value throughout 2022 is IDR 31.1 trillion, so that the total number of companies listed on the IDX is 825 companies by 2022.

"If we look at the listing of shares, the number of companies recorded last year was 825 with an additional new company recorded 59 companies. Last year the highest was since the privatization in 1992, with a fund risk of IDR 33.1 trillion," said Iman.
