Bank Indonesia Governor Meets US-ASEAN Business Council

Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo, together with Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, met with business actors affiliated with the US-ASEAN Business Council and the US Chamber of Commerce. The meeting took place as part of the IMF-World Bank Spring Meeting 2026 in Washington D.C., United States, on Wednesday, 15 April 2026.

Bank Indonesia’s Director of the Communications Department, Anton Pinoto, stated that the meeting reflects the importance of direct interactions between policymakers and the private sector amid rising global uncertainties. “On that occasion, Indonesia reaffirmed its resilient economic performance amid various crises, while strengthening the confidence of US business actors operating in Southeast Asia,” Anton said in a written statement on Thursday, 16 April 2026.

On the same day, the Bank Indonesia Governor also held a meeting with the IMF’s First Deputy Managing Director (FDMD), Dan Katz, which discussed geopolitical developments and high global uncertainties. In the discussion, they highlighted that global risks do not only stem from oil prices but also potential spillover impacts through global supply chains.

Anton explained that in both meetings, Perry conveyed the main message regarding three key factors supporting national economic resilience. First, the consistency and synergy of monetary, fiscal policies, and financial system stability implemented credibly.

Second, the ability to continuously adapt and adjust policy frameworks in line with changing global dynamics. Third, strengthening international cooperation and partnerships, including with the United States (US) and other countries.

“In line with these three key factors, Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen international policy synergies and communication with global investors to maintain external stability and support national economic growth amid rising global uncertainties,” Anton said.
