INDONESIAN President Joko Widodo said on Tuesday he aims to persuade companies that have significant operations in the country but are listed on overseas stock markets to sell shares on Indonesia's bourse.
Mr Widodo claimed he has a list of such firms, mostly operating in mining and plantation sectors, and said he would invite them "one by one" to persuade them, without force, to become a public company in Indonesia.
