JAKARTA Prospective member of the Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) Filianingsih Hendarta explained three strategies that he would pursue if he was elected as a central bank official for the next five years.

Fili conveyed this while taking a fit and proper test held by Commission XI of the DPR at the Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta today.

"First, overseeing monetary stability for a resilient economy," he said on Monday, February 13.

According to him, the post-pandemic economic situation is filled with uncertainty due to global factors that demand that Indonesia must protect the external sector and the financial industry.

"The national economy is not recovering as quickly as expected, but we should be grateful that growth in 2022 can reach 5.31 percent and inflation is 5.51 percent lower than the initial assumption," he said.

The second strategy is to ensure adequate and inclusive economic financing support.

"This means we support the national economic recovery on an ongoing basis," he said.

Third, it is a strategy to formulate and implement concrete steps in accelerating the Digital Financial Economy (EKD).

"Here we will integrate EKD between the conventional sector and sharia to achieve more inclusive financing," he said.

If elected, Filianingsih Hendarta will replace the current Deputy Governor of BI, namely Dody Budi Waluyo, who ends his term in April 2023. Apart from Fili, another candidate who takes the fit and proper test is Dwi Pranoto.

Filianingsih himself currently serves as Assistant Governor of BI as well as Head of the Payment System Policy Department since 2019. He completed his undergraduate education in the field of Law at Airlangga University in 1985. Then, received a Master's degree in Economics & Finance from Boston University, USA in 1992.

Fili started his career at the central bank in 1986. He is known to have held the positions of Head of the Monetary Management Department (2013-2015) and Head of the Macroprudential Policy Department (2015-2019).
