Video: BI's Strategy to Secure the Rupiah: Smart Intervention to Maintain SBN Appeal

CNBC Indonesia, in collaboration with Bank Indonesia, presents the Central Banking Forum 2026 with the theme “Indonesia’s Economic Resilience in Facing Global Exchange Rate Volatility”. The forum will thoroughly examine Indonesia’s responses and those of monetary authorities to global challenges, while strengthening national economic resilience and maintaining market confidence and positive perspectives.

Head of the Monetary Management and Securities Assets Department at Bank Indonesia, Erwin Gunawan Hutapea, at the Central Banking Forum 2026 assured BI’s commitment to maintaining stability to drive national economic growth.

Bank Indonesia, in maintaining exchange rate stability and Rupiah liquidity adequacy, has three strategies: continuing efforts for exchange rate stability through smart interventions, continuing measured increases in the attractiveness of domestic assets, and strengthening monetary operations strategies.

Bank Indonesia also stated that exchange rate movements are inseparable from fundamental conditions, including the balance of payments, where a trade balance deficit leads to exchange rate corrections, but BI ensures this occurs gradually.
