US lawmaker disclosed sale of Telkom Indonesia shares

US Representative Josh Gottheimer sold shares in Telkom Indonesia on Oct.

15, according to a transaction disclosure filed on Nov.

5.

The shares trade in the United States, and the reported sale was valued between US$1,001 and US$15,000.

MSCI announced a consultation on Indonesia’s market status on the same day, proposing to reclassify it from an emerging market to a standalone market.

Indonesia’s stock market fell 11.57% the next day, Oct.

16.

The timing places Gottheimer’s sale amid a period of concern about a possible change to Indonesia’s status, but the disclosed information does not explain his reason for selling.

Telkom later reported quarterly earnings per share below analysts’ expectations, while its revenue was slightly above them.
