BI Governor Assures Indonesia's Economic Resilience Remains Strong Amid Crisis

Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo has outlined three key factors supporting the national economy’s resilience, namely policy credibility, the ability to adapt to global dynamics, and strengthening international partnerships.

This was conveyed by Perry during a series of follow-up meetings with global investors, as well as meetings with the US-ASEAN Business Council and the International Monetary Fund as part of the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings 2026 in Washington, D.C., USA. (15/4/2026).

Perry explained that these three factors encompass several aspects, including the consistency and synergy of monetary and fiscal policies, as well as financial system stability implemented credibly.

Additionally, the ability to continuously adapt and adjust policy frameworks in line with changing global dynamics.

“The third is strengthening cooperation and international partnerships, including with the United States (US) and other countries,” Perry stated in a written remark.

Indonesian Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa also attended the meeting, reflecting 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,” he explained.

On the same day, Perry also held a meeting with the First Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Dan Katz, which discussed developments in geopolitics and high global uncertainties.

In this discussion, it was highlighted that global risks do not only stem from oil prices but also potential spillover impacts through global supply chains. Therefore, policy calibration should not only focus on visible indicators but also on the ability to anticipate risks that have not yet been fully identified.
