A Policy Brief recommendation Following MSCI’s October 2026 Assessment By Laksamana Sukardi

RESETTING INDONESIA’S CAPITAL MARKET From Market Intervention to Independent Verification A Policy Brief recommendation Following MSCI’s October 2026 Assessment By Laksamana Sukardi A Crisis of Confidence, Not Merely a Market Correction Indonesia’s capital market is confronting a crisis that cannot be resolved simply by restoring share prices. The sharp decline in the Jakarta Composite Index, mounting foreign selling pressure, and MSCI’s October 2026 consultation concerning Indonesia’s market classification have exposed a problem far more fundamental than short-term market volatility. The issue is no longer simply whether Indonesian equities are attractively valued. It is whether international investors can trust the information, ownership structures, price formation, and trading mechanisms underlying those valuations. Some have responded to the market decline with political rhetoric, criticism of MSCI, or calls for investors to purchase shares because prices have become cheaper. Such responses risk misunderstanding the nature of the problem. * A falling share price does not…

Indonesia’s Maritime Amnesia: Reclaiming an Archipelagic Nation’s Strategic Destiny

redaksi

IndonesianTalk.com — Indonesia’s Maritime Amnesia: Reclaiming an Archipelagic Nation’s Strategic Destiny Why Indonesia must move beyond raw commodity extraction and build maritime sovereignty through technology, education and sustainable ocean industries. By Dr. Yehu Wangsajaya Indonesia is an archipelagic nation whose greatest strategic asset may also be its most neglected: the sea. For centuries, maritime power shaped the fortunes of the Sriwijaya and Majapahit kingdoms, as well as the sultanates of Gowa-Tallo and Ternate-Tidore. Their influence rested on their ability to navigate trade routes, connect distant communities and harness the economic and political potential of the waters surrounding the archipelago. Yet modern Indonesia faces a paradox. Despite its extraordinary maritime geography, the country has not fully translated its ocean wealth into industrial strength, technological leadership or lasting prosperity for coastal communities. This condition can be described as maritime geopolitical amnesia: a gradual loss of awareness of the sea as a foundation of…

Yusran Hadromi and a Diplomatic Career Measured by Legacy

redaksi

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…
