Hasan Fawzi, Head of OJK's Capital Market, Financial Derivatives, and Carbon Exchange Supervision, highlighted that foreign investors demonstrated a net buy of Rp 1.62 trillion in the stock market throughout July 2026. This indicates a calming of selling pressure from foreign entities. Fawzi also noted the resilience and liquidity of the domestic capital market, evidenced by a narrowing bid-ask spread in the stock market to 1.33 percent in July, down from 1.75 percent the previous month.

The bond market also shows positive trends, with the Indonesia Composite Bond Index (ICBI) closing at 430.46 in July 2026, a 0.14 percent increase month-on-month. Foreign investors' interest in Indonesian government bonds (SBN) remains strong, with a recorded net buy of Rp 6.39 trillion month-to-date as of July 29. This sustained foreign investment underscores confidence in Indonesia's debt instruments.

This is certainly in line with the direction of price recovery in our market.
