JAKARTA, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The Indonesian Stock Exchange will implement short selling on Sept. 26, in a move aimed at increasing trading intensity, market depth, trading volume, and market access, an official said on Wednesday.

Irvan Susandy, director for trading and membership at the Indonesia Stock Exchange, noted that the implementation of short selling will depend on market conditions.

"The earliest we will open is on Sept. 26, 2025. The implementation of short selling not only depends on the date but also on market conditions," he emphasized.

If market conditions are not favorable, a discussion will be held with the Indonesian Financial Services Authority, Susandy added.
