Meskipun pasar modal telah ada sejak tahun 1912, perkembangan dan pertumbuhan pasar modal tidak berjalan seperti yang diharapkan, bahkan pada beberapa periode kegiatan pasar modal mengalami kevakuman. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti perang dunia ke I dan II, perpindahan kekuasaan dari pemerintah kolonial kepada pemerintah Republik Indonesia, dan berbagai kondisi yang menyebabkan operasi bursa efek tidak dapat berjalan sebagaimana mestinya.
Pemerintah Republik Indonesia mengaktifkan kembali pasar modal pada tahun 1977, dan beberapa tahun kemudian pasar modal mengalami pertumbuhan seiring dengan berbagai insentif dan regulasi yang dikeluarkan pemerintah.
