PT Sido Muncul Tbk (SIDO) assesses that the weakening of the rupiah exchange rate against the United States (US) dollar can still be minimized and has no significant impact on the Company's performance in 2024.

Sido Muncul President Director David Hidayat revealed that admitting that SIDO's current rupiah pressure on the dollar has not had a significant impact on the Company's performance in 2024.

"Because most of our production raw materials are purchased from local farmers, the impact of the weakening of the Rupiah on the Company's performance is not significant," he told VOI, Wednesday, July 10.

David said the Company is optimistic that its performance will grow positively until July 2024, as seen from the performance until the first quarter of 2024, SIDO's sales have increased by 16 percent compared to the previous year.

"As of March 2024, SIDO sales rose 16 percent compared to the previous year and for the performance of the second quarter it will be announced at the end of July," he said.
