OJK to Increase Asset Compensation for Investors


Marcell Sihombing, Fathan Qorib
 
During recent commemorations held for the 38th anniversary of the Indonesian capital market, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) introduced several strategic programs designed to encourage domestic investors to link up with the capital market.
 
Muliaman D. Hadad, Head of the OJK’s Board of Commissioners, emphasized that the investor-protection program was just one of a number of strategic programs which would become an integral part of the development of Indonesia's capital market.
 
“The investor-protection program raises the upper threshold of asset compensation for investors,” explained Mr. Hadad on Monday.
 
Mr. Hadad pointed out that aside from improving investor security and confidence, the current upper threshold, which is set at IDR 25 million per investor, would be quadrupled under the new program to a total of IDR 100 million per investor. The expectation is that this increase will attract a greater number of domestic investors to try their hands in the country's capital market.
 
Fully operational since 1 January 2014, the Indonesia Stock Investor Protection Program Organizer Company (PT. Penyelenggara Program Perlindungan Investor Efek Indonesia – PT. P3IEI) has the authority to implement an investor-protection program for the capital-market sector in a bid to protect investors from the risk of asset misappropriation and theft.
 
The duties and responsibilities of this institution are similar to those of the Indonesia Deposit Insurance Corporation (Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan - LPS), which regulates the banking sector.
 
Commenting on the issue of investor protection, President Joko Widodo recently stated that he believed that the program would become an integral part of Indonesia's capital-market development and that a policy designed to increase capital-market investment would prove highly beneficial. The President also asserted though that the new policy must go hand in hand with effective law enforcement across the sector.
 
“The available range of sanctions for capital-market offenders must be both undiscriminating and severe, in order to provide security across our investment sector,”  the President stated firmly.
 
During the 38th anniversary of the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX), The President expressed the wish that the sector would reform itself and be bolstered by an increase in investment from domestic investors.
 
“I believe that in the future, our domestic funds will prove sufficient to create a more solid capital market able to weather the frequent changes that occur across global markets more robustly,” concluded the President.
