JAKARTA PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX) recorded that the number of Indonesian capital market investors again recorded a new record, reaching 17,016,329 Single Investor Identification (SID).

IDX Development Director Jeffrey Hendrik explained that this achievement shows that the growth in the number of investors has exceeded the target of 2 million new investors set by PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX) in 2025.

"The number of capital market investors has increased by 2,144,690 SID (11.42 percent) compared to the position at the end of 2024 which was recorded at 14,871,639 SID," he said in his statement, quoted on Saturday, July 5.

Jeffrey said that since 2020, the number of Indonesian capital market investors has continued to grow rapidly, where the number of investors was recorded at 3.8 million SID and grew by 93 percent or increased by 3.6 million SID to 7.4 million SID in 2021.

Then in 2022, the number of investors will increase by 38 percent or 2.8 million SID to 10.3 million SID and increase again in 2023, which is 17.9 percent or 1.9 million SID to 12.1 million SID.

Furthermore, the number of investors grew by 22.2 percent or 2.7 million SID to 14.8 million SID in 2024, which to date has reached 17 million SIDs.

He said one of the main IDX strategies to encourage investor growth is to actively collaborate with all stakeholders to increase public financial literacy through massive, sustainable, and adaptive education and socialization of the times.

"Throughout the first semester of 2025, the IDX has organized 8,922 educational activities, both offline and online. Various educational programs have been carried out by the IDX through the IDX Representative Area and Office throughout Indonesia. These activities include the Level 1 to Level 3 Capital Market School (SPM), webinars, seminars, and workshops that reach various segments of society," he said.

He said that his party assessed that the potential growth in the number of investors in Indonesia was still very large.

Jeffrey said that compared to the total population of Indonesia, the current number of capital market investors is still relatively low.

However, he conveyed that the development of digital technology and the ease of access to investment services from securities companies are factors that encourage people to become investors more easily.

According to Jeffrey, the existence of the IDX Investment Gallery is one of the important pillars in the development of capital market literacy in various regions.

"Currently, there are almost 1,000 IDX Investment Gallerys spread throughout Indonesia. For this achievement, the IDX will not stop encouraging investor growth," he said.

He conveyed that to maintain this momentum in the midst of dynamics of market sentiment both from within and outside the country, the IDX will continue to be committed to continuing adaptive educational efforts and strengthening collaboration and communication with stakeholders including industry players, securities companies, associations, academics, communities, and the media.

"Through consistent synergy, collaboration and education, the IDX is optimistic that the growth of the number of investors will continue and be more evenly distributed throughout Indonesia," he concluded.
