Bank of Indonesia published an update on the 61st South East Asian Central Banks (SEACEN) Governors Conference in Bali, where governors agreed to strengthen regional economic resilience through closer cooperation amid global uncertainty, digital transformation and the transition towards economic sustainability. Governor Perry Warjiyo set out five steps Bank of Indonesia has instituted in response to current dynamics: strengthening the integrated implementation of a monetary, macroprudential and payment system policy mix; strengthening systemic oversight including money market deepening and supervision of non-bank financial institutions; accelerating cross-border digital payments connectivity for retail and wholesale; strengthening institutional capacity to safeguard central bank independence while ensuring synergy with government and the real sector; and developing human resources to meet future central banking challenges. Bank Indonesia Deputy Governor Ricky P. Gozali linked volatile geo-economic conditions to the need to deepen financial integration in Asia to maintain stability and resilience. The release said the meetings mark the start of Bank of Indonesia’s transition to SEACEN leadership, with an official handover from the Bank of Korea planned for 2026.
