Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto hopes that Indonesia's capital market will be more inclusive, strong, and adaptive to the dynamics of the digital economy, and will continue to be an important pillar in realizing the vision of Indonesia Gold 2045.

"Hopefully in the future our capital market will be more inclusive, strong, and adaptive to the dynamics of the digital economy, and will continue to be an important pillar in realizing Indonesia Gold's vision 2045. Dirgahayu is the 48th Indonesian capital market," he said in commemoration of the 48th anniversary of the re-activation of the capital market in the country, Monday, August 11.

He also expressed his high appreciation to all capital market players, especially to PT Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX), PT Kliring Penjaminan Efek Indonesia (KPEI), and PT Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia (KSEI), for their commitment and innovation in maintaining market integrity and building public trust in the national capital market.

According to him, the commemoration of the 48th anniversary to the Indonesian capital market is not just celebrating age, but is an important momentum to reflect on the long journey in transforming the Indonesian capital market from a conventional system, now becoming increasingly modern, inclusive, and globally competitive.

Previously, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Anagata Nusantara Resources Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) Rosan Roeslani emphasized the strategic role of the Indonesian capital market in supporting national economic growth.

According to Rosan, for almost the last five decades, the capital market has been one of the main pillars in supporting Indonesia's economic development.

He added that the capital market provides extensive access to financing, encourages the creation of innovation, and increases the confidence of both domestic and international investors.

According to him, the 48th anniversary of the re-activation of the Indonesian Capital Market in 2025 with the theme "Realizing an Independent, Sovereign, and Maju Bersama Economy" also reflects the spirit in building a strong, inclusive financial system and in favor of national interests.

"Danantara Indonesia believes that a strong and inclusive capital market ecosystem is the key to a sustainable economy," he said.

Furthermore, he emphasized, his party is committed to continuing to play an active role in creating long-term value for the community and the progress of the nation.
