Terms of the final schedule was set back from the previous increase in paid up capital of IDR25 billion in the next year and delay until the end of 2012. Thus, the MI shall have a minimum paid up capital of IDR10 billion by the end of this year, amounting to IDR20 billion by the end of next year, and amounted to IDR25 billion by the end of 2012.
Currently there are 13 MI whose capital is below IDR10 billion (see table). Djoko said the capital market authorities still develop the industry by encouraging MI to comply with regulations, especially some newly issued regulations. For example, about nine mandatory function in the company and about the paid-up capital adding.
"We still push them so they remain comply with the regulations, and keep our eye so they can increase the paid up capital at the end of the year [to IDR10 billion]."
Vice Chairman of the Indonesian Mutual Fund Administrator Association (Asosiasi Pengelola Reksa Dana Indonesia/APRDI) Bowo Witjaksono Suhardjo said the association also intends to propose this distinction between added paid-up capital for local and foreign MI.
In addition, he said, the association will also be proposed distinction paid for MI by focusing efforts on opened product (for public only) and closed products (private placement).
"If MI is focused on public products the paid-up capital may be lower because the stakes are lower and the risks are more diversified, compared with MI with closed products."
