In total, these 13 Indonesian companies will payout IDR 22.40 trillion (USD $2.30 billion) in dividends to their shareholders. It is expected that these dividend payouts will increase investors' appetite for Indonesian stocks in the short-term. Ahead of dividend payouts, Indonesia's stock market usually doubles its performance, and therefore the psychological level of 5,000 points may be within reach this week. However, after the dividend momentum has passed, the index should show a correction as investors sell part of their stock portfolios. In Indonesia, final dividends are paid out in April-May, while interim dividends are paid out in October-November.
