Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Bakrie family business and its actions in the capital market have always been a concern of market players, especially since the group, which started as CV Bakrie & Brothers, which was founded by the late Achmad Bakrie since the 1940s, has many publicly listed companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).
The names of Bakrie’s listed companies that are quite wanted by investors include PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI), its gold mining subsidiary PT Bumi Resources Minerals Tbk (BRMS), and media issuers namely PT Visi Media Asia Tbk (VIVA).
