Indonesia is moving to fast-track the demutualization of its stock exchange this year in a bid to broaden access to capital and draw new investors after a week of sharp market volatility. The reform is aimed at strengthening governance and boosting liquidity in the market, which has faced volatility in recent months, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said at a press conference on Friday. The plan marks a significant step in aligning the Indonesia Stock Exchange with global peers that have already transitioned to shareholder-owned structures. The country saw a two-day market rout sparked by MSCI Inc.’s warning of a possible downgrade. Read more: Indonesia Stock Exchange CEO Resigns After Market Selloff Indonesia’s government is also preparing measures to bolster investor confidence, including raising the cap on insurer allocations to capital markets. President Prabowo Subianto is closely monitoring the process, underscoring its importance to Indonesia’s economic agenda. Despite the recent rout in equities, officials maintain that the country’s fundamentals remain intact, pointing to resilient domestic demand and ongoing structural reforms as buffers against external shocks.
Hi, this is Philip Glamann in Beijing, where the word of the week is a heavy one: purge .

Hi, this is Philip Glamann in Beijing, where the word of the week is a heavy one: purge . That’s because Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s long-running anti-graft campaign ensnared none other than the nation’s top general, Zhang Youxia , and the joint chief of staff, Liu Zhenli. Zhang’s downfall was stunning because until recently he was considered closely linked to Xi. He’s been described as a “sworn brother” to China’s president and his siblings, and Xi kept Zhang on past retirement age. That retained a rare war veteran, as Xi focused on getting the military ready for combat while it modernized . Well, no more. An official military newspaper suggested political loyalty and corruption were behind the downfall of both Zhang and Liu. An editorial accused the pair of having “trampled on” a system that ensures Xi’s authority over the world’s largest army by number of troops. Read more about the ouster of Zhang and Liu here . Underscoring how deep Xi’s anti-graft blade has cut, China’s top military body began this term staffed by seven men, and now has just two. That would be Xi and an official who oversaw corruption-busting. The exact details behind the latest purge will likely never be known, so we’re left with speculation over possibly purloined funds or some kind of disloyalty Xi found intolerable. In the absence of answers, Beijing becomes something of a rumor mill, hence the wild speculation this week that a coup was afoot. The Wall Street Journal reported that Zhang was accused of leaking secrets about the country’s nuclear weapons program to the US and taking bribes in exchange for promotions. When asked about that, China’s Defense Ministry warned against “subjective conjecture.” The US ambassador to China, David Perdue, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that he took Xi “at his word that there’s a corruption effort underway.” Yet Perdue also said he thought Xi was “making sure that he has total control of his military,” and added that the US was closely w...

We recently published 10 Big Names With Explosive Gains. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) was one of the top performers on Thursday. Facebook operator Meta Platforms jumped by 10.40 percent on Thursday to close at $738.31 apiece as investors took heart from an investment firm’s 9 percent price target upgrade for its stock despite reporting lower profits in full-year 2025. In its market report, BofA Securities raised its price target for the stock to $885 from $810 previously, while reaffirming its “buy” recommendation, noting that AI is driving returns for the tech giant more than its peers. Facebook Photo by Austin Distel on Unsplash In an updated report, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) said that it grew its net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 by 9 percent to $22.77 billion from $20.84 billion in the same period last year. Revenues increased by 24 percent to $59.89 billion from $48.38 billion year-on-year. However, net profit for full-year 2025 dipped by 3 percent to $60.46 billion from $62.36 billion in 2024. Revenues, on the other hand, jumped by 22 percent to $200.97 billion from $164.5 billion year-on-year. Looking ahead, Meta Platforms Inc.

(NASDAQ:META) founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. ”I'm looking forward to advancing personal superintelligence for people around the world in 2026,” he noted.

The U.S. will seek to reach consensus with allies on a pricing mechanism to help insulate rare earth mineral refiners and extractors during meetings with dozens of foreign ministers in Washington next week, a senior Trump administration official told Bloomberg News. In an interview on Thursday, US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg said he expects a lot of “momentum and excitement” toward “agreeing on a pricing mechanism that we can all coordinate together on in order to ensure price stability for people in the mineral refining and extraction business.” The move follows a late-Wednesday selloff in rare earth stocks after Reuters reported that the Trump administration had stepped back from plans to guarantee minimum prices for U.S. critical minerals projects. U.S. mining and processing companies have pushed for price floors and other government backstops to help them compete with China, whose state-backed producers can cut prices to punish rivals, undercut projects, and deter private investment.

Earnings Call Insights: First Internet Bancorp (INBK) Q4 2025 Management View David Becker, Chairman & CEO, stated, "We are pleased to close 2025 with strong fourth quarter results that demonstrate the power of our differentiated digital banking model. Our core business fundamentals remain robust with quarterly revenue up 21% over the prior year period." Becker highlighted a 30% net interest income increase year-over-year, consistent net interest margin expansion, and disciplined expense management. He also referenced the strategic sale of approximately $850 million in single-tenant lease financing loans to Blackstone, stating it "strengthened our capital position, enhanced our rate risk profile and accelerated our progress towards achieving a 1% return on average assets." Becker remarked on Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) growth, with over $1.3 billion in new deposits for 2025 and processing of $165 billion in payments, marking a 225% increase from 2024. He emphasized that "these partnerships have evolved to become true strategic revenue drivers through reoccurring transaction fees, program management fees and interest income." He further addressed credit challenges, noting, "our credit issues are isolated to 2 specific portfolios, SBA and franchise finance," and guided to a higher provision for credit losses in 2026 than initially estimated. Nicole Lorch, President, COO & Corporate Secretary, discussed the SBA segment, noting $8.6 million in secondary market sales for SBA loans through November and December despite a prolonged government shutdown. Lorch stated, "we are strategically realigning our SBA production with our enhanced and more stringent underwriting guidelines," targeting $500 million in originations for 2026 and providing estimated gain on sale revenue of $19 million to $20 million, down from $29.4 million in 2025. She highlighted the bank's BaaS platform, saying, "our payment processing volumes continue to reach impressive scale. We facilitated $65 billi...
