"They believe Indonesia's capital market is strong."Jakarta (ANTARA News) - According to the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), investments made by foreign investors in Indonesia will boost the growth of the domestic capital market.
"The Finnish government understands that Finnish investors are keen on investing in Indonesia," said the Director of Trade and Members Settings at IDX, Samsul Hidayat, on Friday.
He said according to the Indonesian capital market authority, Finnish investors believe the Indonesian financial market will grow.
"Finnish investors are impressed by Indonesia's policies on the development of infrastructure and the capital market," he said.
Finnish investors are conducting a comparative study of capital markets in the region. Indonesia is one of the countries they are studying," he said.
"They believe Indonesia's capital market is strong despite the recent floods in the region," he said.
The Director of IDX, Ito Warsito, said stocks of issuers that are traded on the IDX will push foreign investors to invest in the domestic capital market.
He said foreign investors are investing in the domestic stock market because they are confident that companies listed on the stock exchange will perform well.
"This year, foreign investors have invested Rp2.52 trillion in the domestic stock market. This is certainly a reflection of foreign investors' confidence in the Indonesian shares," he said.
He hopes local investors will also invest in Indonesia's capital market. *** 3 ***
