Amid heightened global uncertainty, Indonesia's policy credibility and consistency in Indonesia to maintain macroeconomic stability are viewed positively by global investors. This confidence is supported by Indonesia's resilience in the face of increasing global uncertainty. This was highlighted in meetings between the Governor of Bank Indonesia, Perry Warjiyo, and several investors in New York and Boston, when he spoke at the Harvard Kennedy School Policy Talk 2026, alongside a meeting with the Permanent Representative of Indonesia to the United Nations in New York. These strategic engagements were conducted as part of the 2026 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the United States.
During the meetings with investors, Governor Perry reiterated that the policy mix remains in an optimal direction, focusing on stability and external resilience through interest rate management, foreign exchange interventions and strengthening domestic liquidity, supported by the fiscal commitment to maintain the deficit below 3% of GDP through subsidy reforms and more productive budget reallocations. “We will continue to ensure a consistent and responsive policy mix to maintain stability and support economic growth in Indonesia amid global dynamics," stated Governor Perry.
Additionally, as part of the 2026 IMF Spring Meeting series, Bank Indonesia also participated as a speaker at a discussion with Harvard Professor, Jeffrey A. Frankel, and Harvard Visiting Scholar, M. Chatib Basri, entitled “Stability in an Age of Shocks: Rethinking Macro Policy in a Fragmented World." The discussion highlighted the increasing complexity of the global environment, characterised by fragmentation, escalating geopolitical tensions and financial market volatility. Frankel emphasised that global shocks are occurring more frequently and becoming more difficult to predict, thereby increasing the risk of pressure on the global economy. In response, Governor Perry stressed that a credible, flexible and coordinated policy mix is key to maintaining stability, while nurturing sustainable growth amid global uncertainty.
That message was also conveyed to Indonesia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, Umar Hadi, as part of the efforts to strengthen communication and align Indonesia's economic narrative globally. The bilateral meeting also provided perspectives on current geopolitical dynamics and global conditions, which serve as input for future economic policymaking. Governor Perry reiterated that Indonesia's economic fundamentals remain solid, supported by robust growth and controlled inflation, as well as close synergy between monetary and fiscal policies to maintain stability and drive growth.
Moving forward, Bank Indonesia will continue strengthening policy communication with global investors to manage market perceptions amid global dynamics. Bank Indonesia is also firmly committed to maintaining a consistent and responsive policy mix, underpinned by close synergy with the Government and other relevant authorities, to strengthen stability and support Indonesia's economic growth
