Jakarta, June 9, 2026 – The Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency continues to strengthen efforts to expand access to capital market financing opportunities for creative economy players through collaboration with the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The meeting marked a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening a sustainable financing ecosystem, enabling creative economy businesses to scale up and grow.
Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya receives an audience from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) at the Ministry of Creative Economy Office, Jakarta, Tuesday (June 9, 2026).
Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya emphasized that the creative economy is projected to become a new engine of national economic growth. Therefore, strengthening the ecosystem and improving understanding of capital market regulations are crucial to ensuring the sector can continue to expand.
“President Prabowo has positioned the creative economy as a new engine of national economic growth, one that begins in regions across Indonesia rather than being concentrated solely in major cities. The potential of Indonesia’s creativity, innovation, and cultural strengths must be supported by a complete ecosystem, including access to financing and investment, so that creative economy players can continue to grow sustainably,” said the Minister at Autograph Tower, Jakarta, on Tuesday (June 9).

Investment realization in the creative economy sector reached IDR 183 trillion in 2025, representing growth of 32.33 percent compared to the previous year. The sector also made a positive contribution to job creation and the strengthening of the middle class, employing 27.4 million people nationwide.
“The Ministry of Creative Economy is focused on encouraging established creative economy players to scale up into national and even global companies. Collaboration with IDX creates opportunities for more creative economy players to understand the capital market and leverage creativity as a source of investment,” the Minister explained.
Previously, the Ministry of Creative Economy and IDX jointly organized the KreatIPO program through a series of Go Public Workshops and creative economy business coaching clinics to improve financial literacy and facilitate access to financing. Acting President Director of IDX, Jeffrey Hendrik, stated that the Exchange remains highly open to expanding participation from various sectors in the capital market, particularly creative economy subsectors, which are considered to have strong investment growth potential.

“We certainly welcome creative economy players to participate in the capital market, whether as investors seeking to benefit from market growth or as corporate issuers raising funds to expand their businesses,” said Jeffrey Hendrik.
The audience is also expected to open opportunities for developing more adaptive IPO schemes tailored to the creative industry, enabling high-potential companies to benefit from sustainable capital market acceleration. Through this initiative, capital market education, the curation of promising businesses, and financing assistance programs can be expanded and strengthened.
