Indonesia Bourse Mulls Extending Trading Window by One Hour

Indonesia’s stock exchange will consider extending trading hours, in its latest effort to draw foreign investors to Southeast Asia’s biggest economy after heavy selloffs earlier this year.

The local bourse could start trade at 8 a.m. to appeal to Asian investors in earlier time zones, or end later at 5 p.m. to better reach European traders, Iman Rachman, president director of Indonesia Stock Exchange, said in an interview Thursday. Extending timings on both ends is also being considered as part of an internal review that may conclude in three months, he said.
