BI Welcomes The Decree Of The Minister Of Finance To Move Rp200 Trillion To Commercial Banks
JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo welcomed the decision of the Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive who transferred government-owned funds at Bank Indonesia worth IDR 20 trillion to commercial banks.
Perry said that Bank Indonesia together with the government continue to strengthen synergy with the government, both fiscal and real sector policies, to encourage higher economic growth because Indonesia's growth is still below the national capacity so domestic demand needs to be encouraged.
"We welcome fiscal policies that are more expansive, including the transfer of funds originally in BI to banks to increase liquidity, thereby strengthening policies to encourage economic growth," he said Wednesday, September 17.
Perry emphasized that Bank Indonesia is always all out in issuing pro-growth policies while maintaining domestic economic stability.
Moreover, he said, Bank Indonesia has lowered interest rates 5 times since September 2024. For this reason, the reduction in interest rates in September 2025 is the sixth time that BI has done.

On the other hand, BI is also actively expanding liquidity, including by reducing the issuance of Rupiah Bank Indonesia Securities (SRBI) by Rp200 trillion, from Rp916 trillion as of January 2025 to Rp720 trillion in August 2025.
"Everything we do is based on the principles and principles of prudent and measurable monoters of policy. The inflation is indah, the rupiah is stable and the need to encourage economic growth in that synergy," said Perry.
