The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) has announced that starting from 30 March 2020, it will shorten its operational hours for trading and reporting. This new policy is implemented to respond to the Financial Services Authority (OJK)'s direction and support the Indonesian government's work-from-home policy to mitigate the spreading of COVID-19.
