RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjiyo expressed confidence that the rupiah will strengthen to the range of IDR 16,800–17,500 per USD, driven by several key factors.

From an external perspective, Perry said global conditions are expected to improve, encouraging renewed foreign capital inflows, particularly into emerging markets such as Indonesia.

Domestically, he noted that Indonesia’s economic fundamentals remain solid, supported by steady economic growth, relatively low inflation, sufficient foreign exchange reserves, and attractive returns for foreign investors.

“Indonesia’s strong economic fundamentals will support the strengthening of the rupiah exchange rate,” Perry said on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. He previously projected the rupiah would strengthen again around July to August 2026.

Perry also voiced optimism that exports and export earnings will rise, boosting state revenue. He highlighted the role of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) in improving Indonesia’s export performance.

“Increased exports will strengthen foreign exchange reserves, thereby supporting the rupiah,” he said, adding that financing is also expected to increase to drive economic growth.

Another factor supporting the rupiah’s appreciation is BI’s market intervention, backed by other policies to reinforce the financial sector and maintain exchange rate stability. “BI will continue to coordinate with the government to ensure synergy between monetary and fiscal policies,” Perry said.
