The HSC mechanism was introduced by the IDX and the Indonesian Central Securities Depository (KSEI) to increase market transparency. Through this scheme, authorities notify the public when an issuer’s ownership is heavily concentrated among a small number of entities.
Acting President Director of the IDX, Jeffrey Hendrik, explained that this policy adopts best practices from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The goal is to provide investors with clearer insights when making investment decisions. “This announcement is intended to enhance transparency for investors as they evaluate potential investments,” Jeffrey noted during a presentation at the Indonesia Stock Exchange Building in Jakarta on April 2, 2026.
Jeffrey emphasized that the implementation of HSC status will not disrupt regular trading activities. Share transactions will continue to function normally, and there are no immediate consequences regarding stock liquidity.
The process begins when a stock meets the criteria established by the HSC committee, which consists of representatives from both the IDX and KSEI. Once a thorough review is completed, the findings are disclosed through official IDX channels to ensure investor access.
Following the disclosure, issuers have the option to conduct a voluntary assessment or undergo periodic reviews by the IDX and KSEI. If subsequent assessments reveal that the ownership structure has become more diversified, the IDX and KSEI will issue a closing announcement, effectively removing the high-concentration status.
“If, based on the latest assessment, the high concentration issue has been resolved, the IDX and KSEI will issue a formal closing notice regarding that status,” Jeffrey concluded.
