Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Bank Indonesia (BI) has committed to maximizing its full suite of monetary instruments to stabilize the Rupiah after the currency breached the Rp 17,000 per US Dollar mark on Tuesday (7/4/2026).

"In the face of extreme global uncertainty, maintaining exchange rate stability remains the absolute priority for Bank Indonesia," said Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti in an official briefing in Jakarta, as reported by antaranews.com.

She confirmed that Bank Indonesia is intervening across spot, Domestic Non-Deliverable Forward (DNDF), and offshore markets to mitigate volatility fueled by Middle East tensions. 

While the Rupiah closed at Rp17,105, Destry noted that Indonesia's position as a commodity exporter provides a natural hedge against rising global prices. 

To further bolster the currency, Governor Perry Warjiyo has highlighted the strategic use of Indonesia's 151.9 billion USD foreign exchange reserves and calibrated interest rate policies to ensure the national balance of payments remains resilient against external shocks.
