A H R P L e g a l B r i e f
To mitigate and reduce the impact of markets that fluctuate significantly and have the potential to put pressure on
capital market stability, including the performance of the key players in the capital market industry, the Indonesian
Financial Service Authority/Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (“OJK”) as the regulator in the financial services sector, plays a

marked Indonesia entering an endemic period. The previous COVID-19 pandemic put pressure on capital market
stability. Subsequently, it is necessary to maintain the financial system and economic stability at the present time.
OJK issues the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 13 of 2023 on the Policies for Maintaining Capital Market Performance and
Stability in Significantly Fluctuating Market Conditions (“OJK Reg. 13/2023”) to determine swift, responsive, measurable, and accountable policies
in maintaining the performance and stability of the capital market, while dealing with market pressures whether arising from crises, pandemics, as
well as global or domestic sentiment. Moreover, OJK Reg. 13/2023 was issued as a form of maintaining good governance in determining policies
and accelerating the process of determining policies in the event of market conditions that fluctuate significantly while referring to the principles of
openness, prudence, risk management, good corporate governance, and in accordance with latest capital market conditions.
