About Perry Warjiyo
Perry Warjiyo, Governor of Bank Indonesia, has been actively engaged in parliamentary meetings and press conferences to address economic projections and currency stabilization. On June 10, 2026, he presented economic forecasts to the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), projecting 2027 economic growth of 5.1% to 5.9%, with an expectation it would trend toward the upper end of that range. He also estimated the rupiah exchange rate would strengthen to between Rp16,800 and Rp17,500 per US dollar by 2027, citing factors such as improved global economic conditions, strong domestic fundamentals, and government policies to boost exports. Warjiyo stated that inflation would remain within the target range of 1.5% to 3.5%. In response to ongoing rupiah depreciation, Warjiyo announced a series of monetary policy measures. On June 9, 2026, Bank Indonesia raised the BI rate by 25 basis points to 5.5%, following a 50 basis point increase to 5.25% on May 20, 2026. He explained that these rate hikes were intended to attract foreign portfolio investment and stabilize the currency. Additional steps included increasing the yield on SRBI instruments, providing a 10% incentive for swap hedging to make it cheaper for foreign investors, reactivating a repurchase agreement window for banks, and lowering the limit on dollar purchases without underlying transactions to $25,000 per person per month. Warjiyo emphasized that fiscal and monetary coordination with the government was being strengthened to support rupiah stability, and he stated that Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves remained adequate, at over 115% of the IMF's adequacy metric. During a May 18, 2026 parliamentary session, Warjiyo faced criticism from lawmakers, including a call for his resignation from PAN member Primus Yustisio, to which Warjiyo responded by thanking them for their input and stating that Bank Indonesia would focus on formulating key performance indicators based on exchange rate stability rather than the exchange rate level. He predicted the rupiah would strengthen in July and August 2026, averaging between Rp16,200 and Rp16,800 for the year.
