This approval was conveyed by the Chairman of Commission XI DPR RI, Mukhamad Misbakhun, in a working meeting with Bank Indonesia on Thursday, November 13.

In the meeting, Commission XI and Bank Indonesia agreed on a number of macroeconomic indicators for 2026, including economic growth of 5.33 percent year on year (yoy), inflation of 2.62 percent (yoy), and the rupiah exchange rate at Rp. 16,430 per US dollar.

"Commission 11 of the DPR RI approved the receipt of the RATBI 2026 operational budget of Rp36.91 trillion," said Misbakhun in a working meeting with BI, Thursday, November 13.

Misbakhun explained that the RATBI 2026 operating budget receipt consisted of foreign exchange assets receipts of Rp36.82 trillion, institutional revenues of Rp8.8 billion, and administrative revenues of Rp76.36 billion.

In budget management, Bank Indonesia emphasizes the strategy of managing foreign exchange reserves and safe, measurable, and gradual gold investments. This step is taken to maintain and increase the value of foreign exchange reserves (preserved value), ensure the adequacy of foreign exchange liquidity to support monetary policy, maintain the stability of the rupiah exchange rate, and ensure that government debt payments remain smooth amid the high dynamics of the global market.

The 2026 Bank Indonesia policy mix is directed to maintain stability and support sustainable economic growth by strengthening synergies with the national policy mix through monetary policy directed to maintain stability and encourage sustainable economic growth (pro-stability and pro-growth) and macroprudential policies and payment systems remain directed at pro-growth.
