REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Corporate Listing Director of Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), Hoesen ensured that 31 companies conducted initial public offering (IPO) in Indonesian capital market this year. About 28 companies are already listed on stock exchange today.

Two other companies are delaying its listing caused by capital market's fluctuation, namely PT Bank Muamalat Indonesia and a transportation company, Blue Bird Group.
