Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The finance industry is closely monitoring the impact of global economic and geopolitical turmoil, which is suppressing purchasing power, driving up commodity prices, and pushing the Rupiah exchange rate to weaken to IDR 17,500 per US dollar.

Regarding the pressure on the Rupiah exchange rate, the President Director of CIMB Niaga Finance, Ristiawan Suherman, stated that this historic weakening of the Rupiah will affect the economy, including increasing the price of imported goods such as electric vehicles.
