inance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has expressed optimism that the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Composite index could reach 10,000 points, supported by the country’s improving economy.
“It’s not an impossible number to achieve, given that the economy is growing well, growth will be better than last year, and I will be handling the economy for the full year,” he told reporters on Friday, after the bourse opened for trading in the new year.
The minister said he expected the national economy to accelerate further, supported by “synchronized” fiscal and monetary policies with Bank Indonesia (BI) and other stakeholders.
“This will serve as the foundation to boost profit growth for issuers. So if investors are quick to notice [a stock issue], make sure not to miss out,” he added.
The IDX Composite rose 1.17 percent to 8,748.13 points on Jan. 2 as the bourse marked its first trading day of 2026.
The index gained 22 percent last year to become one of the top-performing equity markets in Southeast Asia behind only Vietnam and Singapore, where the benchmark indices rose 39.2 percent and 22.9 percent year-to-date, respectively.
