TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is showing notable signs of recovery despite ongoing global economic uncertainties, according to IDX President Director Iman Rachman.
The country’s Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) has risen 16.83 percent from the start of the year through October 24, 2025, reflecting growing investor confidence.
“IHSG recorded an average daily transaction value of Rp 16.46 trillion, with approximately 232,000 active investors trading each day,” Iman said during a speech at the Hana Bank Economic Outlook event, as quoted in a press release on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
“Domestic institutional ownership of shares has increased since early 2025, while retail investors continue to dominate trading activity.”
Iman noted that the domestic market could see further recovery, supported by expectations of lower interest rates toward the end of the year.
Despite challenges such as interest rate adjustments in major economies, import tariffs, exchange rate fluctuations, and ongoing geopolitical risks, Indonesia’s IHSG growth ranks second in Southeast Asia, a trend expected to continue into 2026.
Meanwhile, Yunarto Wijaya, Executive Director of Charta Politika, expressed optimism that Indonesia’s economic growth could surpass 5 percent by the end of 2025.
He highlighted the importance of implementing targeted policy measures in the fourth quarter, including food aid programs, labor-intensive initiatives, PPh 21 tax incentives, and transportation fare discounts during the year-end holidays.
Yunarto also emphasized that trade trends and the country’s trade balance will remain key drivers of economic growth.
Ko Yung Ryul, President Director of Hana Bank, projected that 2026 will bring continued global economic dynamics, including interest rate changes, tariffs, currency volatility, and geopolitical tensions.
Other experts at the Hana Bank Economic Outlook shared insights on global and domestic financial prospects.
Kim Young Jun from the Hana Institute of Finance discussed trends in the global economy and financial markets, including Indonesia, while Lee Hwan Joo from Hana Bank Korea’s Wealth Management Group focused on tax strategies, savings, and asset inheritance planning in Korea.
