Jakarta : Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) said Sharia-compliant investors in Indonesia in 2015 increased 53 percent from 2,795 at the end of 2014 to 4,257, the Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) reported citing ANTARA News.
“The Sharia capital market in Indonesia has continued to increase significantly thanks to the launch of Sharia education activities and promotion campaigns carried out to promote sharia investments in the country’s Sharia capital market in 2015,” BEI Corporate Communications Head Dwi Shara Soekarno said here Saturday.
He said that a number of activities that were conducted from the January to December 2015 period included Sharia capital market education activities with 9,502 participants across the country, with an increase of 8.0 percent in number of participants from that in 2014.
Education through the online system also increased. The information on that effect covered the list on the sharia stock, regulations and advice of the Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI) and the list of constituent stock, including the Indonesian Sharia Stock that could be accessed directly through the BEI website.
“People can also download the MUI advice No. 80 on the principle application of Sharia in the trade mechanism of equity stock at a regular stock exchange market. They could be downloaded in three languages,” Soekarno said.—IINA
