        "content": "<p>Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo stated that the International\nMonetary Fund (IMF) views the global economy as remaining resilient,\ndespite facing increasingly complex uncertainties due to the war in the\nMiddle East. This perspective emerged during the IMF-World Bank Spring\nMeetings held in Washington D.C., United States, on 16-17 April\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIMF member countries are urging joint steps to address global\nuncertainties, while ensuring that economic transformation benefits\nworld growth,\u201d Perry said in an official statement on Saturday, 18 April\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, he said, the IMF highlights major changes in\ntechnology, demographics, and the environment that create both\nchallenges and new opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>One such change is artificial intelligence (AI). On one side, AI has\nthe potential to increase productivity and welfare. On the other side,\nAI can cause disruptions in various sectors alongside the rapid\ndevelopment of that technology.<\/p>\n<p>Perry also expressed BI\u2019s commitment to maintaining macroeconomic\nstability and the financial system. \u201cThis commitment is carried out\nthrough flexible yet measured exchange rate management, strengthening\nmonetary instruments to maintain the attractiveness of domestic assets,\nand careful liquidity management to continue supporting growth,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chairman of the International Monetary and Financial\nCommittee (IMFC) Mohammed Aljadaan said the economic impact from the\nMiddle East conflict will depend on its duration, intensity, and\ngeographical expansion. He also mentioned that the poorest and most\nvulnerable countries will be the group most affected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf prolonged, this could keep fuel and fertiliser prices high for a\nlong time, disrupt supplies of key inputs, and increase risks to energy\nand food security, global growth, inflation, and external sector\nbalances,\u201d Aljadaan said in an official statement on Friday, 17 April\n2026. The Saudi Arabian Finance Minister stated that central banks\nremain committed to maintaining price stability in accordance with their\nrespective mandates.<\/p>",
