"We understand the public's concerns. However, it is necessary to emphasize that investor protection mechanisms in Indonesia are available, prepared according to the regulatory mandate, and continue to be aligned with international best practices.

He said that Indonesia SIF emphasized that Customer Fund Accounts (RDN) also received protection as securities or securities in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations.

"This role complements the existing protection system, so that investor confidence in the national capital market is maintained," he said.

As a form of consistency, Gusrinaldi said that his party continues to strengthen the role of public education and communication through the Investor Protection Month (IPM) series which is held every year with stakeholders.

Gusrinaldi said that the implementation of the 2025 HDI was clear evidence of Indonesia's SIPF support for the 2023 2027 OJK Capital Market Roadmap and the achievement of the superior Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of SRO which focuses on increasing capital market inclusion.

Entering the fifth year, the 2025 HDI carries the theme Smart Digital, Financial Cermat. This theme was chosen to emphasize the importance of financial literacy and vigilance in investing in the midst of the development of the digital economy.

He said that with a better understanding, investors are expected to be able to take advantage of market opportunities as well as anticipate risks, so as to create a healthier, protected, and sustainable capital market ecosystem.

"We believe that in the future the Indonesian capital market will be more inclusive, competitive, and protected. Indonesia SIF will continue to act as a safeguard for investor protection, as well as support the growth of a healthy and integrity capital market industry," he said.
