IHSG Strengthens After Purbaya's Visit to BEI (Thursday, October 9, 2025)

The IDX Composite Index (IHSG) strengthened by 1.04% to 8,250.94 at the close of trading on Thursday (9/10/2025). This achievement marks a new all-time high (ATH).

This index increase occurred after the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) received a visit from Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa.

This morning, Purbaya held a meeting with IDX President Director Iman Rachman at the IDX office in Jakarta, discussing, among other things, the idea of fiscal incentives for the exchange.

"The Exchange Director also kept asking for incentives, which I'm not sure I'll give," Purbaya said after the meeting, as reported by Tempo.co (9/10/2025).

"I told them I would provide incentives if you [IDX] tidy up investor behavior in the capital market. That means, if 'pump-and-dump' stocks are controlled to protect small investors, then I will consider the incentives," Purbaya stated.
