Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia's Deputy Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Dradjad Hari Wibowo urged investors to base decisions on company fundamentals, market data, and the country's economic outlook rather than market sentiment alone.

"My message to investors is simple: Run your own numbers. Pay attention to what FTSE Russell, Bloomberg, and others announce, but you know our listed companies. It is your money," he told reporters here Tuesday.

Dradjad said assessments by international index providers remained important references for evaluating Indonesia's capital market.

However, investors should also independently assess corporate performance, stock valuations, and the underlying prospects of Indonesia's economy, he said.

This approach would help ensure investment decisions were not driven solely by market sentiment or information circulating in the market.

Dradjad also called for continued capital market reforms, emphasizing the need to improve transparency, corporate governance, and regulatory enforcement.

Indonesia already has a foundation for market transparency that needs further strengthening, including greater disclosure of share ownership, he said.

The government is also maintaining dialogue with index providers and market participants to pursue necessary reforms and create a healthier, fairer capital market.

He also highlighted the importance of strengthening the domestic investor base to improve the resilience of Indonesia's capital market.

Indonesia's economy grew 5.45 percent in the first half of 2026 from the same period a year earlier, according to Statistics Indonesia.
