        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2014 Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjiyo has further\naddressed the impact of geopolitical tensions causing high global\neconomic uncertainty on Indonesia. According to him, Indonesia\u2019s economy\nis quite resilient or \u2018immune\u2019 to these global turbulences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe affirm that Indonesia\u2019s economic fundamentals are strong in\nfacing the impacts from geopolitics, including the Middle East war. Our\neconomic fundamentals are strong, so our external resilience remains\nstrong,\u201d Perry stated during the April 2026 Board of Governors\u2019 Meeting\n(RDG) press conference held online on Wednesday (22\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The strong economic fundamentals claimed include low inflation around\n2.5\u00b11 percent, high economic growth above 5 percent, and a rupiah\nexchange rate that tends to be stable. In addition, there is ongoing\nbanking credit growth, a balance of payments recording a low current\naccount deficit, and strong foreign exchange reserves.<\/p>\n<p>Perry assured that coordination with the Government continues, and\nvarious measures are being implemented to maintain economic stability\nand keep economic growth positive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking into account the impacts from the Middle East war, including\noil prices, the strengthening of the US dollar, high US Treasury yields,\nand capital flows, therefore joint measures continue to be discussed and\nhave been implemented,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>These measures include the eight points of work culture\ntransformation set by the Government in March 2026, among others the\nimplementation of work from anywhere (WFA), energy saving, and\nstrengthening the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme. This also\nincludes accelerating the national energy transition, which encompasses\naccelerating solar power plants, converting imported fuel oil (BBM) to\nelectric vehicles, and the biofuel programme including B50.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese measures are very appropriate and will strengthen our economic\nstability as well as the fiscal deficit that remains low below 3 percent\nof GDP (Gross Domestic Product). These are the steps that have been\ntaken and we must continue to support the steps that will be taken by\nthe Government, ensuring our economic resilience is strong and our\neconomic fundamentals are strong,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>",
