Gold-ETF Public Offerings Now Open: Investment Portfolio Allocations to Focus on OJK-Approved Gold of 99% Purity Standard

In order to strengthen the national economy and to accelerate capital-market deepening within Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan – “OJK”) recently introduced a whole new category of investment products, specifically exchange-traded mutual funds that are backed by gold (“Gold-ETF”).[1] This new type of product was formally established through the issuance of Regulation of the OJK No. 2 of 2026 on Collective Investment Contract Mutual Funds Whose Units Are Traded on the Stock Exchange with Gold as the Underlying Asset (“Regulation 2/2026”), which officially came into force on 23 February 2026.[2]
