The capital market seems to be increasingly in demand by the public, including the people of Bali. In March 2022, investor growth and capital market transactions experienced a good increase. According to the Head of the Bali Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Representative Office, I Gusti Agus Andiyasa, as of March 2022, the number of stock investors in Bali was 81,460 investors or grew by 6,068 new investors, up 7.81% from the previous year. "So at the beginning of the year there has been quite a significant growth," he said, Sunday (17/4). When viewed in terms of age, Agus Andiyasa revealed, the age group of 18-25 years still dominates the most age as investors with a value of 37 percent. Then the age of 26-30 years by 23%, the age of 31-40 years by 22 percent and the age of 41-100 years by 18%.
"We hope that this number can continue to increase, especially yesterday there was GoTo which was busy too. Hopefully, it can enliven the capital market and people will want to invest more,” he said. Agus Andiyasa admitted that if you look at the data, there are two stock commodities that are currently in demand. Namely oil and wheat commodities. “Investors now mostly run to commodities, especially oil and wheat commodities. This may be due to the war between Russia and Ukraine which has made prices rise, so many investors are turning to these two commodities,” he explained.
Further mentioning a number of investment cases that are going viral and dragging several names of influencers such as Indra Kenz and Doni Salmanan, Agus Andiyasa commented, this makes the public more aware of fraudulent investments. Especially to know how to identify legal and illegal investments. "This is a motivation for us to be able to provide education and socialization more often to the public so that they don't fall into fake investments," he concluded.
