TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Stock trading in the first session at the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, was temporarily halted after the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) dropped 5.02 percent to 5,146.
The Corporate Secretary of the Indonesia Stock Exchange, Kautsar Primadi Nurahmad, confirmed this in a written statement.
"We hereby inform that today, Tuesday, March 18, 2025, a temporary trading halt has occurred at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) at 11:19:31 Jakarta Automated Trading System (JATS) time, triggered by a 5 percent decline in the IHSG."
According to him, this policy was taken in accordance with the Board of Directors' Decree of BEI Number: Kep-00024/BEI/03-2020 dated March 10, 2020 concerning Changes in Guidelines for Handling Continuity of Trading at the Indonesia Stock Exchange in Emergency Conditions.
The Exchange stated that trading resumes at 11:49:31 JATS time without any changes to the trading schedule.
Trading halt is the exchange's policy to temporarily halt stock trading. This is done to correct imbalances, fix technical errors, or in the event of too rapid index movements. The Exchange implements this measure to prevent potential investor losses due to extreme price fluctuations.
