President Prabowo Plans Investor Meeting: A Positive Boost for the Market?

President Prabowo Subianto is reportedly planning a meeting with investors and capital market players in Indonesia in response to recent market volatility. The meeting, set to take place after Eid, has drawn attention as analysts speculate on its potential impact on market sentiment.

Capital market analyst Ibrahim Assuaibi believes this initiative will bring a positive boost to the market. He noted that Prabowo’s presence in the capital market sector has been limited, even skipping the opening of this year’s trading session.

Moreover, some of Prabowo’s previous remarks and actions have been perceived as dismissive toward the capital market. As a result, his direct engagement in the upcoming meeting is expected to have a significant influence on market confidence.

“Oh yes, this meeting will definitely be a breath of fresh air for the market, especially since the president hasn’t attended previous IHSG openings. This is a great opportunity for the market if the president meets directly with capital market players. It’s an important momentum for investors,” Ibrahim told detikcom on Tuesday (March 25, 2025).

Furthermore, Ibrahim emphasized that Prabowo should not only meet with investors but also deliver statements that restore market confidence in the government.
