Why Can the Rupiah Exchange Rate Weaken?
The weakening of the rupiah exchange rate or depreciation does not occur just like that, but is influenced by various economic factors. According to information from the Indonesian Ministry of Finance website, rupiah depreciation can be triggered by conditions such as unemployment rates, foreign debt amounts, trade balance, and economic growth. These factors make the rupiah exchange rate very sensitive to changes in economic conditions and potential financial crises.
In addition, the rupiah is also heavily influenced by global conditions, particularly US dollar movements. When the US dollar strengthens, the rupiah tends to weaken because demand for the dollar increases. Monetary policies from Bank Indonesia, such as interest rates and market interventions, also affect rupiah stability. On the other hand, investor sentiment plays an important role; political or economic uncertainty can prompt investors to withdraw funds, thus pressuring the rupiah exchange rate.
External factors such as geopolitical conflicts also impact the exchange rate. For example, conflicts between Iran, the US, and Israel can drive up global oil prices. This situation requires Indonesia to spend more foreign exchange for energy imports, thereby increasing demand for US dollars and pressuring the rupiah. As a result, when the rupiah weakens, the price of imported goods becomes more expensive.
Domestically, internal factors also play a role. Referring to the Airlangga University website, domestic political and economic instability, including declining commodity prices and inconsistent policies, can make investors hesitant and withdraw their investments. This triggers pressure on the rupiah exchange rate.
The impact of rupiah weakening is quite broad. In addition to increasing the price of imported goods, this condition can also raise domestic production costs, especially for businesses reliant on imported raw materials. Ultimately, this can trigger inflation and affect public purchasing power.
