In Front of IMF and World Bank, BI Governor Reveals Three Key Factors Supporting Indonesia's Economic Resilience
Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo has revealed three key factors supporting Indonesia’s economic resilience in the face of current global dynamics. These are policy credibility, the ability to adapt to global dynamics, and the strengthening of international partnerships.
These three elements formed the main message he delivered in a series of follow-up meetings with global investors, as well as discussions 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, on Wednesday, 15 April 2026 local time.
The three factors encompass several aspects. 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 cooperation and international partnerships, including with the United States (US) and other countries,” Perry stated, as quoted.
The meeting between Bank Indonesia Governor and Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa with business actors in the US-ASEAN Business Council and US Chamber of Commerce reflects the importance of direct interactions between policymakers and the private sector amid rising global uncertainties.
On that occasion, Indonesia affirmed its resilient economic performance amid various crises, while strengthening the confidence of US business actors operating in Southeast Asia.
On the same day, the Bank Indonesia Governor also held a meeting with the International Monetary Fund’s First Deputy Managing Director, Dan Katz, which discussed geopolitical developments 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.
“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. In that communication,” he emphasised.
