  "account": "The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) has postponed the implementation of the minimum stock price rule from Rp50 to Rp1 per share. Originally scheduled to commence on September 7, 2026, the full roll-out is now expected to begin in the third or fourth week of September. To prepare for this reduction, IDX conducted two mock trading sessions. According to the interim results, 83 exchange members are prepared for the change, while 8 members are not. IDX President Director Jeffrey Hendrik disclosed these findings during an interview with reporters at the IDX Building in Jakarta on September 1, 2026, as reported by Antara. Hendrik assured that the exchange will provide support to those unprepared for the adjustment. He emphasized that the exchange is actively communicating with non-ready members to offer assistance. The target for live trading on the new minimum price will be in the third or fourth week of September, pending readiness from all exchange members. Despite the lowered price floor, Hendrik remains confident that the policy will not lead to foreign capital outflows. Instead, he believes the move will improve market liquidity and price discovery. Hendrik also expressed optimism that global index providers, such as MSCI and FTSE, will view the policy positively. This optimism is based on positive feedback received during socialization sessions and mock trading tests conducted on August 22 and 29, 2026. Hendrik highlighted the encouraging response from market participants and expressed hope that MSCI, FTSE, and other global index providers will respond favorably to the policy change.",
