Bank Indonesia's acting governor, Destry Damayanti, said he would focus on maintaining stability and take forward-looking measures to stabilize the Indonesian rupiah exchange rate. Members of the National Assembly are undergoing procedural approval of her nomination for governor. Once approved, she will begin a full five-year term as governor. “From a monetary perspective, the primary focus remains on maintaining stability while providing space for economic growth,” Destry said during a review of eligibility in the National Assembly on Wednesday. She explained, “We will manage the Indonesian rupiah exchange rate policy in a pre-emptive and forward-looking manner to maintain the stability of the Indonesian rupiah.” This statement is similar to that of former governor Perry Warjiyo, who abruptly resigned in July. Mukhamad Misbakhun, chairman of the Indonesian National Assembly Finance Committee, said that once approved by lawmakers, Destry's term of office will last from 2026 to 2031. If approved, she would become the first female governor since the Bank of Indonesia was founded in 1953.
