Acting Chairwoman of the OJK Board of Commissioners Friderica Widyasari Dewi said at a press conference on Saturday that the review is intended to support market functioning and liquidity, including by broadening the scope of permitted activities for commercial banks.
She said OJK is also considering raising the minimum public shareholding, or free float, requirement to 15 percent and advancing discussions on the possible demutualization of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).
Friderica said OJK plans to strengthen the role of institutional investors, including state-owned insurers and pension funds, by raising stock investment limits while upholding prudential, governance, and risk management principles.
The authority also plans to enhance oversight to prevent potential stock market manipulation.
The review comes amid a week of heightened volatility in Indonesia’s capital market. The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) recorded a sharp two-day decline earlier in the week.
Indonesia Stock Exchange CEO Iman Rachman resigned on Friday, while four senior OJK officials, including Chairman Mahendra Siregar and Vice Chairman Mirza Adityaswara, resigned late Friday night.
