Jakarta: Bank Indonesia (BI) has prepared several short-term policies in a bid to maintain national economic stability amid global economic uncertainty.
BI Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti revealed that the policies would focus on ensuring exchange rate stability and strengthening liquidity in financial markets.
“In regard to exchange rates, we have raised the BI rate by 100 basis points over the past month, bringing it to 5.75 percent,” Destry said during a press briefing following a leadership meeting between the House of Representatives (DPR) and the government on Monday, June 29, 2026.
BI strengthens market liquidity BI continues to strengthen market liquidity through various monetary instruments. Destry explained that liquidity expansion through monetary operations had increased from IDR 600 trillion at the end of May 2026, to IDR 1,000 trillion by the end of June 2026.
“The measure aims to strengthen liquidity and prevent volatility in our money and foreign exchange markets,” Destry explained.
Repricing SRBI and SBN BI has also repriced Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI) and Government Securities (SBN).
Destry noted that the move has helped to drive in significant foreign capital inflows. As of June 26, 2026, inflows into SBN and SRBI portfolios have reached USD9 billion.
“This reflects confidence from both offshore investors and the Indonesian public alike,” she said.
