Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Financial Service Authority (OJK) plans to issue a regulation allowing publicly listed companies to buy back their shares from the public.

The new regulation is expected to be issued by the end of the third week of August, the agency said in a news release here  on Friday.

The policy intended as as a new stock market stimulus is expected to prevent sharp fluctuation in the stock market.

The policy is a follow up of the stimulus policy package issued on July 24 to deal with the regional and global economic condition.

It also held a meeting with leaders of 15 associations such as the  Institute of Internal Auditor (IIA) Indonesia, the Communications Forum of Directors of Obedience (FKDKP), Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Indonesia,  and  Indonesian Association of Audit Committee(IKAI), to encourage the associations to take part in overseeing application of  good corporate governance principles  by financial service industrialists.

There has also been similar meeting between OJK and the managements of state companies  and subsidiaries  in the attempt to strengthen the country's stock market. (WDY)
