Indonesian Securities Central Custodian (Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia) recorded that from 2018 to 2021, investors in four major instruments (Stock market, Mutual Funds, Capital Market, and Government Securities) are experiencing an increase in the number of investors, ranging from 45% and 82% annually. Meanwhile, the rise of this investment intention among people in Indonesia also raised fraud investment.
