Jakarta — Bank Indonesia (BI) has confirmed that it will continue to be present in the market to maintain exchange rate stability and ensure adequate liquidity.
This statement comes in response to the rupiah’s weakening, which briefly reached Rp16,500 per U.S. dollar.
Erwin Gunawan Hutapea, head of BI’s monetary management and securities department, said BI is present in the market to ensure the rupiah exchange rate moves in line with its fundamentals through a healthy market mechanism.
“In this regard, Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen stabilization measures, including NDF intervention in the offshore market and intervention in the domestic market through spot transactions, domestic non-deliverable forwards (DNDF), and SBN in the secondary market,” said Erwin in a statement on Monday, September 1, 2025.
He explained that BI also ensures sufficient rupiah liquidity by providing banks with access.
These efforts are carried out through repo transactions, FX swap transactions, SBN purchases in the secondary market, and the provision of lending/financing facilities.
“This is done through repo transactions, FX swap transactions, SBN purchases in the secondary market, and lending/financing facilities,” Erwin said. (*)
