Perry Warjiyo, former Governor of Bank Indonesia, explained the central bank's decision to raise the BI rate by 25 basis points to 5.5% as a follow-up measure to strengthen the rupiah, which had weakened beyond projections. He detailed five measures: the rate hike, an increase in SRBI rates, a 10% incentive on hedging swaps, reactivation of weekly repo auctions for liquidity, and intensified foreign exchange operations. Warjiyo noted that SRPI had seen inflows since April-May, but SRBI experienced outflows, prompting the rate action. He also addressed reserve adequacy, stating that Indonesia's foreign reserves are more than sufficient, covering over 115% of the IMF's adequacy threshold and about six months of imports. The measures aim to attract portfolio inflows, stabilize the currency, and keep inflation within the 2.5% plus or minus 1% target for this year and next.

Key takeaways

BI rate raised by 25 basis points to 5.5% to stabilize the rupiah and attract foreign inflows.
Hedging swap incentive set at 10% cheaper than regular swap price to offset investor tax obligations.
Foreign reserves are more than sufficient, covering over 115% of IMF adequacy and about 6 months of imports.
SRBI rate also increased to counter outflows and support rupiah strengthening.
Weekly repo auctions reactivated for 3, 6, 9, and 12-month tenors to meet liquidity needs.

About Perry Warjiyo

Perry Warjiyo, Governor of Bank Indonesia, has been actively communicating the central bank's policy stance and economic outlook in several meetings with government officials and the House of Representatives (DPR) during May and June 2026. On June 9, 2026, he announced that Bank Indonesia raised the BI rate by 25 basis points to 5.5%, a move he described as necessary to attract foreign portfolio investment and stabilize the rupiah, stating that the central bank "does not like raising interest rates" but that the adjustment was in line with market mechanisms. He also outlined five additional measures, including increasing the yield on SRBI instruments, providing incentives for swap hedging, reactivating repurchase agreement auctions for bank liquidity, and intensifying foreign exchange operations. Warjiyo emphasized that Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves remain "more than sufficient" to support the rupiah, citing an adequacy ratio above 115%. In his appearances before the DPR's Budget Committee on June 9-10, 2026, Warjiyo projected that the rupiah would strengthen to a range of Rp16,800 to Rp17,500 per US dollar by 2027, attributing this outlook to expectations of improving global economic conditions, strong domestic demand, and government policies such as downstreaming and the establishment of new state-owned enterprises. He also forecast economic growth of 5.1% to 5.9% for 2027, with inflation remaining within the target range of 1.5% to 3.5%. Earlier, on May 18, 2026, during a working meeting with Commission XI of the DPR, Warjiyo faced criticism from lawmakers over the rupiah's continued depreciation. Member Primus Yustisio called for his resignation, while Harris Turino questioned the effectiveness of BI's interventions. Warjiyo responded by thanking them for their input and explaining that BI and the government would formulate a new key performance indicator based on exchange rate stability rather than the exchange rate level, predicting the rupiah would strengthen in July and August to an average of Rp16,200 to Rp16,800 for the full year.
