| DL=,/GN,/LP,/TX | JAKARTA - The government will likely raise the ownership ceiling |
| imposed on foreign investors in companies listed on the capital | |
| market from the present 49 percent to conform to the new foreign | |
| investment regulation. | |
| Finance Minister Mar'ie Muhammad said yesterday that the 49 | |
| percent ceiling should be adjusted to the new investment ruling. | |
| /TX | "The government is seriously considering widening the |
| foreign portion in share trading," he told newsmen after giving | |
| an address at an international conference on capital markets. | |
| The government issued a new foreign investment ruling late | |
| last month allowing foreign investors to have an equity holding | |
| of up to 95 percent in a joint venture with local partners. While | |
| the foreign ownership restriction on direct investments has been | |
| eased several times to attract foreign investors, the restriction | |
| on foreign holdings in the capital market has remained at 49 | |
| percent. | |
| Economists suggested that the government also increase the | |
| ceiling of the foreign share holding in portfolio investment to | |
| revitalize stock trading. It has been on a downward trend over | |
| the last two months due to the decline of foreign investors. | |
| Sjahril, a noted economist at the University of Indonesia, | |
| questioned the inconsistency of the government's foreign | |
| investment policy. | |
| "If foreigners are allowed to own up to 95 percent of shares | |
| in non-listed companies, why aren't they allowed on listed ones?" | |
| he said. | |
| Support | |
| Hasan Zein Mahmud, the president of the Jakarta Stock | |
| Exchange, supported the idea of easing the ownership restriction | |
| imposed on foreign investors in the capital market. | |
| The government is believed to have maintained the foreign | |
| ceiling in portfolio investment in fear that raising the ceiling | |
| more than the 49 percent level could lead to hostile control of | |
| important companies by foreign investors. | |
| "If this is the case, the government can enforce a ruling | |
| limiting the control of foreign investors in company management," | |
| Hasan said, adding that many countries prefer this kind of ruling | |
| rather than enforcing a share ownership limit. | |
| Hasan commented that controlling management is not the | |
| intention of investors in the capital market. | |
| Basiruddin A. Sarida, the president of the Surabaya Stock | |
| Exchange, told The Jakarta Post that the government should be | |
| "very careful" if it wanted to increase the foreign ownership | |
| ceiling in portfolio investments. | |
