Who is affected
Indonesian issuers planning public offerings of bonds or sukuk, including eligible PT PMA and PT PMDN companies; underwriters and other securities companies; the electronic public-offering system provider and system participants; supporting institutions and professions; custodians and settlement parties; and domestic or foreign investors ordering debt securities or sukuk through participating intermediaries.
Practical impact
PADK 11/2026 extends the electronic public-offering operating framework beyond equity offerings to debt securities and sukuk. It regulates when the e-IPO system applies, how investor interest and orders are submitted and verified, how order funds are made available and checked, how centralized and fixed allocations are performed, and how subscriptions are settled. Issuers and intermediaries therefore have a one-year implementation period to align offering documents, system connections, investor-order controls, funding checks, allocation procedures and settlement workflows before the rule becomes mandatory. OJK may adjust the values, limits or percentages specified in the regulation's attachment.
OJK established PADK 11/2026 on 21 September 2026 and added it to the official regulation index on 30 September. The regulation provides the technical framework for conducting public offerings of debt securities and sukuk through Indonesia's electronic public-offering system. It implements POJK 41/2020 and becomes effective one year after establishment, on 21 September 2027.
The rule is not limited to the online display of an offering. It governs the operating sequence from investor interest and orders through funding, verification, allocation and settlement. It addresses both fixed allocation and centralized allocation and gives OJK authority to adjust values, limits or percentages contained in the attachment when market conditions or supervisory needs require a change.
For issuers, the practical preparation starts before the effective date. A company planning a public bond or sukuk offering should confirm that its underwriter and other appointed parties can support the e-IPO EBUS workflow, then build the electronic process into the transaction timetable, offering documents, responsibility matrix, investor communications and settlement plan. PT PMA status does not itself create an exemption where an Indonesian issuer enters the regulated public-offering process.
Underwriters and system participants need tested controls around investor identity, order submission, fund availability, verification, allocation, settlement and exceptions. System access, maker-checker authorization, reconciliation, business continuity and retention of an auditable order history should be completed before the first covered offering rather than left to the transaction launch window.
Investors, including eligible foreign investors using Indonesian market intermediaries, should keep their securities and cash accounts, Single Investor Identification and know-your-customer records current. They must follow the offering-specific order and funding timetable and maintain sufficient cleared funds. An expression of interest or order does not guarantee full allocation, and a failed funding or verification check can prevent settlement.
The regulation creates a forward implementation date rather than an immediate 2026 filing deadline. The one-year lead time should be used for documentation, system development, testing and training. Market participants should also monitor later OJK notices because the authority may revise attachment parameters without changing the regulation's core operating structure.
Required action
- Issuers considering a public bond or sukuk offering on or after 21 September 2027 should include the electronic-offering workflow in the transaction timetable, appoint intermediaries that can operate through the e-IPO system and reflect the system process in the offering documents and service agreements.
- Underwriters, securities companies and system participants should map their current debt and sukuk order process against PADK 11/2026, including submission of investor interest and orders, fixed and centralized allocation, funding verification and settlement responsibilities.
- Complete system development, connectivity, user-access, authorization, reconciliation, business-continuity and audit-trail testing before the effective date, and document ownership for exceptions or failed order and settlement events.
- Update investor onboarding and communications so investors understand the participating intermediary, order channel, funding cut-off, verification process, allocation method and settlement mechanics for each electronic debt or sukuk offering.
- Investors should keep their securities account, cash account, Single Investor Identification and know-your-customer information current with the selected intermediary and ensure that sufficient cleared funds are available by the offering-specific deadline.
- Monitor OJK notices for any adjustment to the attachment's values, limits or percentages and incorporate the final parameters into offering and allocation controls before launch.
