JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo emphasized his confidence in Indonesia's economic resilience amid global uncertainty, while ensuring that a consistent and responsive policy mix continues to be directed to maintain stability and encourage national economic growth.
The statement was made during a series of meetings with global investors in New York and Boston, United States, which took place on the sidelines of the IMF Spring Meeting 2026 agenda.
On this occasion, Perry explained that Indonesia's current monetary and fiscal policies are focused on strengthening stability, external resilience through interest rate management, intervention in the foreign exchange market, and increasing domestic liquidity, controlling inflation, and maintaining the momentum of economic growth.
According to him, this effort is strengthened by fiscal commitments to keep the deficit below 3 percent of GDP through subsidy reforms and more productive budget allocation.
He emphasized that policies would continue to be maintained to remain consistent and adaptive in the face of global dynamics in order to support national economic stability and growth.
"We will continue to ensure a consistent and responsive policy mix to maintain stability and support Indonesia's economic growth amid global dynamics," Perry said in a statement, quoted Wednesday, April 15.
In addition, during the IMF Spring Meeting 2026 series, Bank Indonesia also participated in a discussion with Harvard Professor Jeffrey A. Frankel and Harvard Visiting Scholar M Chatib Basri with the theme "Stability in an Age of Shocks: Rethinking Macro Policy in a Fragmented World". The discussion underlined the increasingly complex global conditions characterized by fragmentation, increasing geopolitical tensions, and high volatility in financial markets.
Frankel highlighted that global shocks are now occurring more frequently and are difficult to predict, thereby increasing the risk to the world economy.
In response, Perry emphasized the importance of credible, flexible, and coordinated policies as the key to maintaining stability while promoting sustainable growth.
A similar message was also conveyed in a meeting with the Permanent Representative of Indonesia to the United Nations in New York, Umar Hadi, as part of strengthening communication and coordinating Indonesia's economic narrative at the international level.
The meeting also became a space for exchanging views on current geopolitical developments and global conditions, which can be considered in formulating future policies.
On that occasion, Perry reiterated that Indonesia's economic fundamentals remain strong, supported by solid growth, controlled inflation, and close synergy between monetary and fiscal policies.
Looking ahead, he added that Bank Indonesia is committed to continue strengthening policy communication with global investors to maintain a positive market perception amid global dynamics.
"Bank Indonesia is also committed to maintaining the consistency of a responsive policy mix, supported by close synergy with the Government and related authorities, to strengthen stability and support Indonesia's economic growth," he concluded.
