PROPAMI: MSCI Proposal Is Not a Final Verdict on Indonesia’s Capital Market, Reform Must Remain the Focus

IndonesianTalk.com – The Indonesian Capital Market Professionals Association (PROPAMI) has urged market participants to respond to the turmoil that followed Morgan Stanley Capital International’s (MSCI) proposed change to Indonesia’s market classification in a proportionate, fact-based manner. The proposal triggered sharp selling in the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI). (18/10/26) PROPAMI acknowledged that the JCI’s steep fall on 16 October 2026 was a serious event. But the association said the drop does not automatically mean the foundations of the national capital market have lost their investment appeal. “Panic does not resolve structural problems, while ignoring those problems can prolong uncertainty,” PROPAMI said. A Consultation, Not Yet a Decision On 15 October 2026, MSCI launched a consultation on a proposal to reclassify Indonesia from Emerging Market to Standalone Market status, with a final decision to be announced no later than the end of June 2027. Indonesia’s status therefore has not changed automatically. The consultation…

Yusran Hadromi dan Diplomasi yang Tak Berhenti pada Jabatan

IndonesianTalk.com — Yusran Hadromi and a Diplomatic Career Measured by Legacy JAKARTA — A diplomat’s career is often measured by the positions he or she has held: secretary, counselor, chargé d’affaires or ambassador. Others are remembered for treaties signed, negotiations concluded or crises successfully navigated. Yusran Hadromi appears to measure his career differently. After three decades in the diplomatic service, the 29 August 1969-born diplomat says what matters most is not necessarily reaching the highest position, but leaving a legacy — through ideas, relationships and initiatives that continue to have an impact after an assignment ends. “More toward legacy and ideas,” is how Yusran describes his approach to his long career. Positions change. Countries of assignment change. Offices are eventually handed over to someone else. What remains, he believes, is the footprint left behind. That footprint does not always come in the form of major diplomatic agreements. Sometimes it is an Indonesian…

IndonesianTalk.com — Antara CEO Benny Butarbutar Highlights Sustainability Communication Strategy at Universitas Pertamina Sustainability communication can no longer be treated merely as a corporate publicity exercise or an administrative requirement.

PROPAMI

IndonesianTalk.com — Indonesia’s capital market is entering a phase in which market expansion is increasingly tied not only to investment activity, but also to policy coordination, professional competence and broader financial literacy. That message emerged from the National Seminar for Capital Market Professionals organized by the Indonesian Capital Market Professionals Association (PROPAMI) in Bandung on Saturday, alongside the organization’s 2026 Annual Members Meeting (RUAT). Carrying the theme “The Future of Indonesia’s Capital Market: Synergy Between Policy, Industry, and the Profession for Sustainable Growth,” the forum brought together representatives from the capital market industry, regulators, legislators, business institutions and academia. The discussions placed particular emphasis on the importance of stronger coordination across the capital market ecosystem as Indonesia seeks to expand participation while improving public understanding of investment and financial products. Held at the Ballroom Suagi, The Papadanyan Hotel, Bandung, the event also marked a new cooperation framework between PROPAMI and the Indonesia…

Beyond the Bigger Screen: What Makes a TV Upgrade Worth It?

redaksi

Consumer technology feature

IndonesianTalk.com — A bigger television offers something buyers can see immediately: more screen. Whether it offers better value takes a closer look. For a household planning to replace its TV, the decision involves money set aside, space available and a device expected to serve everyday needs. An attractive upgrade has to make sense within those limits. TCL Indonesia is making its case through the “Add a Little, Get MUCH BIGGER” campaign. In company material, the brand compares the additional cost of moving to a larger television with the increase in viewing area. The message is straightforward. A relatively small increase in spending, TCL says, can bring a noticeably larger display. Understanding that offer begins with two questions: how much larger, and at what final price? More Screen, but What Else Changes? TCL gives several examples of how screen area grows with size. Moving from a 32-inch television to a 40-inch model…

Political Elites, Disaster and the 2029 Election: Between Image-Building and a Wounded Public

IndonesianTalk.com — Political Elites, Disaster and the 2029 Election: Between Image-Building and a Wounded Public YOGYAKARTA — Indonesia’s disaster season shows little sign of easing, with thousands of people affected by floods, landslides, forest fires, extreme weather and other hazards. Yet as communities struggle with recurring disasters, the attention of much of the country’s political elite appears increasingly focused on the 2029 elections. Official data from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), as of Sept. 7, recorded 1,730 disasters across Indonesia since the beginning of the year. Forest and land fires accounted for the largest share, with 627 incidents, followed by floods with 543, extreme weather with 324, landslides with 105 and droughts with 101. There were also 14 tidal floods and abrasion incidents, 13 earthquakes and three volcanic eruptions. The figures have renewed questions about whether disaster management has become a political priority — or remains largely a matter of…

The Bayan Price Mystery: When Markets Need Answers, Not Speculation

redaksi

IndonesianTalk.com -The Bayan Price Mystery: When Markets Need Answers, Not Speculation. By Laksamana Sukardi There is a mystery in Indonesia’s capital market. PT Bayan Resources Tbk., one of Indonesia’s largest publicly listed companies by market capitalization, has a market value of roughly US$26 billion. Yet Bloomberg has reported that an entity controlled by Indonesian businessman Haji Isam is offering approximately US$3 billion for around 62 percent of Bayan Resources’ shares. The arithmetic is straightforward. If 62 percent of the company is valued at US$3 billion, the implied valuation for the entire company would be approximately US$4.8 billion. On the stock exchange: roughly US$26 billion. In the reported transaction: roughly US$4.8 billion. The difference is close to 80 percent. One company. Two dramatically different indications of value. Why? This is what I call the Bayan Price Mystery. This article does not seek to determine which valuation is correct. Nor do we know what…

Spokesperson: A Political Communication Management Perspective in the Age of Disruption

IndonesianTalk.com — Spokespersons Take on More Strategic Role in Era of Disruption The rapid development of digital technology and changing patterns of public communication have made the role of government and institutional spokespersons increasingly strategic, speakers at a book launch in Jakarta said on Friday. Spokespersons are no longer expected merely to deliver statements on behalf of their leaders. They are increasingly required to manage strategic communication, build public trust and respond to rapidly evolving information dynamics. The issue was among the topics discussed during the launch and book discussion of Juru Bicara: Perspektif Manajemen Komunikasi Politik di Era Disrupsi (Spokespersons: A Perspective on Political Communication Management in the Era of Disruption), written by communication professor Marlinda Irwanti Poernomo and Benny Siga Butarbutar, M.Si. The event was held at Antara Heritage Center in Jakarta on Friday (Sept. 11). In his keynote speech, head of the Government Communications Agency (Badan Komunikasi Pemerintah/BKP)…

Hato Introduces Nuggets with 80% Real Chicken Breast to Over 5,000 Amartha Run 10K 2026 Runners

Amartha Run 10K 2026

IndonesianTalk.com — Over 5,000 runners took part in the Amartha 10K Run at Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), but it was Hato that stole the spotlight at the finish line, (6/9/26). Rather than setting up a traditional water stand, the Yogyakarta-based chicken processing brand energized athletes with an exclusive Protein Recovery Station featuring Hato Fillet, a nugget product containing 80% real chicken breast meat. Rewriting the Rules on Nuggets Through this initiative, Hato is positioning itself to challenge the long-standing perception of nuggets as a low-nutrition snack aimed primarily at children. The brand argues that nuggets can instead serve as a serious, high-protein fuel source suited for active lifestyles. As Indonesia’s pioneer in nuggets containing over 70% meat content, Hato pairs its low-sodium formulation with what it describes as an industry-first ziplock packaging designed to preserve product hygiene during storage. Company’s Commitment to Quality Protein According to Qatrinada, Director of PT Sera…
