According to Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) data, CASA-coded stock recorded the increase in the first session after their initial listing, and remained unchanged until the close of trading on Tuesday.

The company’s president director Hengky Setiono said 92 percent of the proceeds had been allocated to increase the paid-up capital of PT Capital Life Indonesia, the firm’s life insurance subsidiary.
“Around 7.45 percent of the money is for building a sharia insurance company, while the rest of it will be registered as the parent company’s working capital,” he added in Jakarta after the listing ceremony.
Affiliated-broker PT Sinarmas Sekuritas was the underwriter of the IPO, offering the shares at Rp 130 per unit. (vny)
