Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive said that the economic direction will greatly affect investor decisions in the capital market, real markets, and foreign investment (FDI) in realizing investment plans.

According to him, the recent significant increase in the stock market may only reflect the activities of the duit groups playing there.

But for most long-term investors, the movement is an early signal that there is a positive improvement in the economy.

"It is the first flag that there is a positive improvement here," he said at a working meeting of Commission XI of the DPR with the Minister of Finance, Thursday, November 27.

He added, as long as the government is able to carry out consistent and sustainable policies, the Indonesian economy will improve, the stock market will be stronger, and gradually short-term investors will also enter.

Previously, the Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) closed trading in the green zone with an increase of 0.94 percent or 80.24 points to the level of 8,602.13 on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. This figure is also the highest record in history.

Purbaya stated that the stable condition of the national economy also provided a positive impetus to JCI's performance.

"(JCI to 8,602) Wow, that's solid. To the moon !," he told the media crew, Wednesday, November 26.

He explained that the JCI movement was basically influenced by the fundamental strength of the economy.

Although economic growth has not yet reached the expected speed, Purbaya assesses that capital market investors are forward-looping so that they can predict future prospects.

Purbaya is optimistic that various government programs will further improve economic conditions, thereby increasing investor confidence and encouraging the flow of funds into Indonesia.

"It turns out that this program is in line. So if it should be interpolated to stocks, it's like that. Maybe not now, but they will see it going forward, forward-looping. There are some fried ones, but others are also going up, right. So if there is no optimism in the economy it will not go up to 8,600," he concluded.
