JAKARTA, May 8 (Reuters) - The Indonesia Stock Exchange
(IDX) suspended trading of securities of state-controlled
construction firm Waskita Karya after its bondholders
rejected a proposal to delay payments, it said on Monday.
The suspension was effective immediately, IDX said.
The exchange suspended trading of Waskita's shares and bonds
for two weeks in February after the company deferred payment of
a bond coupon.
The company's spokesperson did not immediately respond to
request for comment.
Waskita filed a notice to the stock exchange separately on
Monday that said some of its bondholders had rejected the firm's
proposals in a meeting last week, without providing details.
