JAKARTA - The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) reported that the number of Indonesian capital market investors has reached 20,042,365 single investor identification (SID).

Director of Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) Development Jeffrey Hendrik explained that the data on the number of investors increased by 34.8 percent or 5,170,726 SID from the position of 14,871,639 SID at the end of 2024.

He said the number of stock investors also experienced a significant spike of 8,461,938 SID, an increase of 32.6 percent or an increase of 2,080,494 SID compared to data at the end of 2024, namely 6,381,444 SID.

According to him, this achievement is a tangible proof of the consistency of national education efforts on an ongoing basis and the increasing public confidence in the Indonesian capital market.

Jeffrey said that the growth in the number of Indonesian capital market investors shows that the literacy, inclusion, activation, and digitalization efforts of education carried out by the IDX have been effective.

"We see that public interest in investment is increasingly inclusive and even, because access to education can now be enjoyed by people from various regions of Indonesia," said Jeffrey in his statement, quoted Friday, December 19.

This achievement is inseparable from the role of the BEI education network spread throughout Indonesia consisting of almost 1,000 BEI Investment Galleries (GI) and 29 BEI Representative Offices which are also supported by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Self-Regulatory Organization, and all other capital market stakeholders.

Jeffrey said the existence of equitable educational infrastructure allows access to literacy and the opportunity to start investing is no longer only concentrated in big cities, but is also spread throughout Indonesia.

BEI together with GI BEI during the period from January to November 2025 has held 59,037 literacy, inclusion, and activation activities which were attended by 29,033,262 participants.

The program includes an Introduction to the Capital Market School (SPM), SPM Level 1-3, visits to the Indonesia Stock Exchange, workshops, trading simulations, and the distribution of digital content that is carried out consistently throughout the year.

He added that the effectiveness of the GI BEI can also be seen from the increasing literacy access, so that students, students, and the community in the region can now get quality education.

According to him, this equitable access is an important factor in reducing the literacy gap between urban and rural areas.

In addition, the Capital Market Ambassador (DPM) program is a driving element that strengthens the effectiveness of distribution of education in the regions by involving 3,650 DPM in 2025 and more than 6,000 DPM in the previous year. As an initiator of literacy, DPM actively contributes to the implementation of educational activities as well as strengthening student participation through the opening of effect accounts at universities.

Jeffrey said the trend of the growth in the number of capital market investors throughout 2025 occurred simultaneously with various other record achievements in the Indonesian capital market.

As for December 8, 2025, the Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) and market capitalization reached all-time highs with the JCI closing at 8,710.695 and the market capitalization reaching IDR 16,004 trillion.

Along with the growth in the number of investors, the Indonesia Stock Exchange also recorded a growth in transaction value, so that currently the Indonesia Stock Exchange has entered the billion dollar exchange group, which is a group of global exchanges with a daily transaction value of over 1 billion US dollars.

"This achievement places Indonesia on par with the world's major stock exchanges and shows a deepening of the market that is getting stronger," he said.
