In the past month alone, foreign investors registered a net sell-off totaling 10 trillion Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) across all market sectors. This significant outflow brings the year-to-date net foreign purchase down to 15.2 trillion IDR as of December 24th.
The shift in foreign investment is particularly notable in large Indonesian banking stocks.Hendra Wardana, founder of stocknow, commented that this capital flight “reflects low confidence in the stability of the domestic market.” He further predicted that this trend could persist into the first quarter of 2025, especially if goverment policies, such as potential VAT increases, aren’t balanced with measures to support consumer spending power.

Indonesia Stock Market: Foreign Investors Shift Course
Recent data indicates a critically important shift in the Indonesian stock Exchange (IDX) with a notable increase in foreign selling. This article analyzes the potential causes and implications of this trend, examining the performance of key market sectors and expert predictions for 2025
Understanding the Emerging Market Outflow
Senior Editor, world-today-news.com: Dr. Wijaya,thank you for joining us today. Could you shed light on the recent surge in foreign selling on the Indonesian Stock Exchange?
Dr. Dyah Wijaya, Economist, Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF): It’s a complex situation, and several factors are likely contributing. We’ve seen a combination of global headwinds like rising interest rates in developed economies, which makes emerging market investments appear less attractive. Together, uncertainties surrounding Indonesian government policies, particularly potential VAT increases, seem to be weighing on investor confidence.
Banking Stocks Take The Biggest Hit
Senior Editor: the data shows heavy selling in Indonesian banking stocks. Is this cause for concern?
Dr. Wijaya: It’s definitely a sector worth watching. Banking stocks are frequently enough seen as barometers of economic health. The outflow could signal concerns about loan growth and potential impacts of a global slowdown on the Indonesian economy.
senior Editor: Can you elaborate on the role of potential VAT increases in this trend?
Dr. Wijaya: Many investors are cautious about the impact of VAT hikes on consumer spending, a key driver of economic growth. If not balanced with measures to support consumer purchasing power,such as social safety nets or targeted economic stimulus,VAT increases could dampen demand and potentially hurt bank profitability.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for the Indonesian Market?
Senior Editor: Some analysts predict this trend could continue into 2025. Do you share that outlook?
Dr. Wijaya: It’s possible. Much will depend on the global economic climate and the clarity of Indonesian government policies.If the government can clearly communicate its plans to mitigate the potential negative impacts of VAT increases and provide support for domestic consumption, it could help restore investor confidence.
Senior Editor: And what advice would you offer to investors navigating this uncertainty?
Dr. wijaya: Diversification remains crucial.It’s essential to have a well-balanced portfolio and not solely rely on any single market or sector. Staying informed about both global and local economic developments is also key to making sound investment decisions in these volatile times.
