Video: Two Strategies by BI Governor to Maintain Indonesian Liquidity and Save the Rupiah

Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjiyo has revealed that various steps have been prepared to ensure Indonesia’s financial liquidity remains stable and to strengthen the rupiah.

Perry stated that two specific measures are being implemented to enhance liquidity and stabilise the currency. The first involves increasing the attractiveness of yields on securities to encourage the return of foreign portfolio inflows to Indonesia.

“First is increasing the attractiveness or yield so that foreign portfolio inflows return. With the rise in overseas interest rates, there has indeed been an outflow, affecting equities, government securities (SBN), and a small portion of SRBI,” Perry said during a press conference at the Nusantara III Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Saturday (6/6/2026).

“Second is maintaining adequate liquidity in the money and banking markets by ensuring government cash remains at BI, but with an increase in the remuneration or interest provided by BI to the government,” Perry explained.

Through these actions, monetary operations will continue to support the stability of the rupiah exchange rate, while fiscal operations remain supportive.
