T
he number of Jambi residents investing in the stock market has grown significantly in the past few years amid the increase in promotion campaigns held by the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX).
The chief of the IDX’s branch office in Jambi, Fasha Fauziah, said many local people have chosen to invest their money in the stock market through the local offices of securities companies in Jambi.
“Some 4,714 investors have invested about Rp 931 billion through seven securities,” Fasha told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
Some of the securities companies are Philip Sekuritas, Sinarmas Sekuritaas, MNC Sekuritas, Indo Premier Securities and RHB Sekuritas.
The IDX’s local office has actively promoted investment in the stock market through a number of promotional events to encourage local people to buy stocks or other capital market instruments as investment alternatives.
The IDX has also opened investment galleries with a number of universities in the provinces, including Jambi University, Sultan Thaha State Islamic University, Batanghari University, Muarabulian Business School, the Muarabulian Islamic Religious School, the Kerinci State Islamic Institute and the Kerinci Islamic Religious School.
The galleries provide information about investment instruments in the capital market, as well as information about companies who are listed on the IDX. (ami/bbn)
