description This study investigates the integration of the Indonesian stock market with eight major trading partner countries, namely, China, Japan, the United States, Malaysia, India, Singapore, the Philippines, and South Korea. The analysis of the stock-market integration investigation includes the following two main things: short-term and long-term dynamic relationships within the <i>Vector Autoregressive</i> (VAR) model framework based on the unit root test, multivariate Johansen cointegration, and paired Granger causality test. The VAR model was analyzed using weekly closing index data of the Indonesian stock exchange and eight major trading partners from January 2013 to June 2024. The results of the study show that the integration of the Indonesian stock market with those of its main trading partners in the long term is relatively low. This finding implies that investors from the eight major trading partner countries can diversify their portfolios in international investments via the Indonesian stock market and vice versa. In the short term, these results prove that Indonesia’s stock markets and those of its major trading partners are integrated, excluding China. The Chinese stock market has become segmented and more attractive for Indonesian investors who want to benefit from diversification and vice versa. Furthermore, the Indonesian stock market has two-way causal relationships with the US, Japanese, Indian, and Singaporean stock markets. In addition, the Indonesian stock market has unidirectional reciprocal-lagged relationships with Malaysia and the Philippines. An essential contribution of this study is helping policymakers and, especially, international investors understand the dynamic relationships of the Indonesian stock market with its major trading partners. Furthermore, this study contributes to the development of empirical literature on the comovement of the Indonesian stock market and those of its major trading partners, as well as the stock markets of developing and developed countries.
