Alam Sutera Realty

One of the most memorable experiences of my early years in the Indonesian stock market was when I watched how property stocks, which previously devastated by the global crisis in 2008, gained so much in the next few years, and the rise is in line with the excellent financial performance of property developers at the time, where they had great return on equity on the level 20 – 30%, thanks to the high rate of economic growth in Indonesia (had reached 6.9% in 2011) that boosted the prices of property as many capital owners invest their funds in the property. At those years, a property developer could purchase land at a bargain price, develop it into an elite residential area, and later sell it at exorbitant prices. The areas on the outskirts of Jakarta such as Serpong, Cikarang, Cibubur, developed rapidly during this period.

Repo Cases in Indonesian Stocks

According to Investopedia, the repurchase agreement, or repo, is an agreement between two parties in which the first party borrows some funds from the second party with certain securities as collaterals, such as stocks, bonds, or government securities, with the promise that the first party would buy back the collaterals (thus the second party will get their money back). Usually the value of the loan is lower than the value of the collateral, for example A borrows Rp100,000,000 from B with 100,000 shares of X as collateral, at a price of Rp1,000 per share (so the loan value is Rp100 million), while the stock price of X in the market was higher at Rp1,500. In theory, if A later can not repay the debt, then B could just sell the shares of X that he holds in the market, so he will still make 50% profit.
