Bank of Indonesia reported on Governor Perry Warjiyo’s meetings with global investors in New York and Boston and his engagements at Harvard alongside the 2026 International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings, where he positioned Indonesia’s policy framework as focused on maintaining macroeconomic stability and external resilience amid heightened global uncertainty. Discussion with investors centred on an “optimal” policy mix combining interest rate management, foreign exchange intervention and measures to strengthen domestic liquidity, supported by the government’s fiscal commitment to keep the deficit below 3% of GDP through subsidy reforms and more productive budget reallocations. In a Harvard Kennedy School policy talk and a panel on “Stability in an Age of Shocks: Rethinking Macro Policy in a Fragmented World” with Jeffrey A. Frankel and M. Chatib Basri, Warjiyo argued for a credible, flexible and coordinated approach as fragmentation, geopolitical tensions and market volatility make shocks more frequent and harder to predict. He also met Indonesia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations to align Indonesia’s economic narrative globally and to factor geopolitical developments into future policy considerations. Bank of Indonesia stated it will continue strengthening policy communication with global investors and maintain a consistent and responsive policy mix in close coordination with the government and other relevant authorities.
