Week Full of New Company Listings on the Indonesia Stock Exchange

On their first trading day, shares of the three new listed companies surged. Shares of Capitol Nusantara Indonesia rose 19.5 percent while Bank Ina Perdana's shares rose 12.5 percent. Shares of Asuransi Mitra Maparya were blocked after they had surged 50 percent on the first trading day (causing the auto rejection scheme to intervene). Popularity of this stock had already been evidenced by huge demand from investors during the initial public offering (IPO) process (becoming oversubscribed).

Similar to last year, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) expects 30 new listings in 2014. President Director of the IDX Ito Warsito stated that - despite economic uncertainty and public caution over Indonesia's legislative and presidential elections (held in April and July), Indonesian companies are still positive about going public.

Asuransi Mitra Maparya
