- On 21 May 2019, the Financial Services Authority (“OJK”) and the Indonesia Securities Companies Association (Asosiasi Perusahaan Efek Indonesia - “APEI”) jointly launched the Market Standard Repurchase Agreement for Equity Securities (“Market Standards”) due to the growing popularity of Repo transactions within the equity market.
- The Market Standards specifically address various types of settlement transactions, as well as the role of brokers during Repurchase Agreement (“Repo”) transactions. The Market Standards themselves have been formulated as a follow-up measure to the previously issued Regulation of the OJK No. 9/POJK.04/2015 on Repurchase Agreement Transaction Guidelines for Financial Service Institutions, which was subsequently followed by the validation of the Indonesian Global Master Repurchase Agreement (“GMRA”).
- The APEI is hoping that the new Market Standards will be used as guidelines during Repo transactions in Indonesia and that, as a result, international best practices will be adopted across the Indonesian Repo market. (ANT)
