Indonesian Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa expressed confidence\nthat the rupiah would soon rebound, citing government efforts to\nstrengthen economic growth and the expected de-escalation of the Middle\nEast conflict.<\/p>\n
His remarks were made during a press conference on the operational\npreparation of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) on Sunday, 31 May\n2026, when a foreign media outlet inquired about concerns over the\nrupiah\u2019s depreciation affecting Indonesia\u2019s economy, particularly\nlow-income households.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe budget has accounted for the current rupiah depreciation, and\nthe national budget remains stable despite the currency\u2019s current\nweakness,\u201d Purbaya stated at the Jakarta press conference on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He noted that, theoretically, a strong economy leads to a stronger\ncurrency. Indonesia\u2019s Q1 2026 economic growth of 5.61% demonstrates a\nrobust domestic economy, which would naturally bolster the rupiah.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy current focus is ensuring domestic economic growth remains strong\nin the short, medium, and long term. This growth will naturally\nstrengthen the rupiah\u2019s exchange rate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The finance minister stressed his optimism that foreign investors,\nincluding direct FDI, would invest in countries with promising growth\nprospects in the region. \u201cWe are growing faster than many other nations,\neven ranking second in the G20 after India, so our economic outlook is\nstrong,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/finance-minister-purbaya-expects-rupiah-to-rebound-soon-1780280734", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
