Jakarta — Bank Indonesia (BI) has announced a number of operational adjustments during the Eid al-Fitr (1447 Hijriah) holiday period, from 18 March 2026 to 24 March 2026.

Executive Director of Bank Indonesia’s Communications Department Ramdan Denny Prakoso stated in Jakarta on Monday that these operational arrangements align with government regulations on national holidays and joint leave for 2026, and are designed to ensure the availability of banking service infrastructure for the public.

From 18 March 2026 to 24 March 2026, all services for the Bank Indonesia Real Time Gross Settlement (BI-RTGS), Bank Indonesia Scripless Securities Settlement System (BI-SSSS), and Bank Indonesia Electronic Trading Platform (BI-ETP) will not operate.

Furthermore, all cash service activities will be suspended, as will rupiah monetary operations and foreign currency monetary operations.

Consequently, the Jakarta Interbank Spot Dollar Rate (JISDOR) and non-US dollar reference rates (USD/IDR) will not be published. Bank Indonesia’s exchange rate will use the previous business day’s reference rate.

Additionally, Indonesia Overnight Index Average (INDONIA), Compounded INDONIA, and INDONIA Index will not be issued during this period.
