The Indonesian stock market showed strong signs of optimism as the new year began. From December 30th, 2024, to January 3rd, 2025, the Composite stock Price Index (IHSG) climbed, ending the first week of trading with a 1.82% gain. This positive momentum pushed the IHSG to 7,164,429, a notable increase from the previous week’s closing of 7,036,571. This surge in the IHSG was accompanied by a rise in trading activity. The average daily exchange transaction frequency jumped by 6.08%, reaching 1.03 million transactions compared to 970,000 transactions in the preceding week. This early performance suggests a positive outlook for the Indonesian stock market in 2025. Investors will be closely watching to see if this momentum continues in the weeks and months ahead.Indonesian Stock Exchange Sees Market Cap Growth
The Indonesian stock market is showing signs of strength, with a notable increase in market capitalization. According to Kautsar Permadi Nurahmad, corporate Secretary of the Indonesian stock Exchange, “The Exchange’s market capitalization also experienced an increase, namely 1.48% to IDR 12,445 trillion from IDR 12,264 trillion the previous week.” Despite a slight dip in average daily transaction values and volumes, Indonesia’s financial markets showed resilience in early 2025. This temporary slowdown was attributed to the shortened trading week due to the New Year’s holiday. Providing insights into foreign investor activity, Nurahmad noted, “Foreign investors on Friday [3/1/2025] recorded a net sales value of IDR 571.38 billion and foreign investors recorded a net sales value of IDR 817.08 billion throughout 2025.” Despite a slight dip in average daily transaction values and volumes,Indonesia’s financial markets showed resilience in early 2025.
