Bank Indonesia Governor shares insights on Indonesia’s economic prospects

With the Indonesian rupiah under major pressure amid domestic challenges and a turbulent global economy, Asia House welcomed Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo to brief Corporate Members on the current situation and the country’s wider economic outlook.

Governor Warjiyo was appointed to lead Indonesia’s central bank in May, and has already introduced a range of measures to shore up the beleaguered rupiah. He discussed these government intervention reforms in a wide-ranging briefing, which also included the global uncertainties arising from the US-China trade war and how emerging markets are responding.

Indonesia’s economic fundamentals, which are broadly positive, were also discussed, as were the key challenges ahead for the country.

Chaired by Asia House Chief Executive Michael Lawrence, the briefing was held exclusively for Asia House Corporate Members as part of the New Global Trade Order series.
