Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) published a press release on its co-hosting, with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), of the 45th ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum (ABMF) Meeting and related events in Yogyakarta, framing the programme around regional bond market integration and the expansion of sustainable finance in capital markets. The ABMF agenda is positioned to support integration of ASEAN+3 bond markets through standardisation and harmonisation of regulation, market practices and cross-border bond transaction infrastructure. OJK highlighted its domestic sustainable capital market initiatives, including OJK Regulation No. 18 of 2023 on the issuance and requirements for sustainability-based debt securities and sukuk, alongside the Indonesia Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, and reported outstanding sustainable corporate bonds and sukuk of IDR 54.94 trillion (USD 3.28 billion) as of end-December 2025. The programme also included an “Indonesia Session” panel on integrating sustainable finance into economic development and developing the local currency bond market, with speakers from ADB, Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance, Bappenas, Bank Indonesia, the Indonesia Stock Exchange, the International Capital Market Association and Nomura Asset Management. The ABMF 2026 programme runs 2-4 February 2026 in a hybrid format with around 200 participants, alongside the Joint 34th Cross-Border Settlement Infrastructure Forum focused on practical case studies to advance cross-border transactions and linkages between central banks and central securities depositories, and the 3rd Digital Bond Market Forum focused on digital assets.
