Jakarta Stock Exchange in Online Business Directory

Jakarta Stock Exchange is one of the stock exchanges that give you the opportunity of investment and fund sourcing in the efforts of supporting the National Economic development. The Jakarta Stock Exchange also takes part in the efforts of developing the big and solid local investors to establish a stable Capital Market in Indonesia. The history of JSX in Indonesia can be traced back to early part of the 19thcentury. In 1912, under the auspices of the Dutch colonial government, Indonesia’s first stock exchage was set up in Batavia – the colony’s administrative center, which then is recognized as Jakarta. Closed during the First World War, the Batavia Stock Exchange was then re-opened in 1925. It operated alongside parallel bourses in Surabaya and Semarang before it was re-closed when Batavia was occupied by the Japanese imperial forces in 1952. Seven years after Indonesia declared its independence, the Exchange is then re-opened in Jakarta by trading the stocks and bonds published by the Dutch enterprises before the World War. However, the activities of the Exchange were once again stopped when the government launched nationalization programs in 1956. Not until 1977 was the Exchange re-opened, this time under the management of the newly created Capital Market Executive Agency (BAPEPAM), a new institution under the Ministry of Finance. The trading activities and maket capitalization started to increase and reached a bull in 1990 alongside the development of financial market and private sector.
