Indonesia’s Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK) said national financial and monetary policies will remain solid, pro-growth and pro-stability during the leadership transition at Bank Indonesia, with Finance Minister and KSSK Chair Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa saying coordination among financial authorities remains strong to maintain market confidence and an investor-friendly climate.
Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti has become acting governor of Bank Indonesia following Perry Warjiyo’s departure, and Purbaya said she is well-qualified to ensure monetary policy is executed seamlessly.
The article says Destry’s interim appointment follows Law No. 23/1999 on Bank Indonesia, most recently updated via Law No. 4/2026 on Financial Sector Development and Strengthening (P2SK), under which the Senior Deputy Governor automatically assumes the governor’s duties if the post becomes vacant until a permanent official is confirmed.
Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said President Prabowo Subianto has not yet named a permanent successor, and the president will submit candidates to the House of Representatives (DPR) for selection and confirmation before a final executive appointment.

For companies and investors following Indonesia, the immediate point is policy continuity rather than a change in the central bank mandate. The acting-governor mechanism keeps monetary-policy authority in place while the president and House of Representatives complete the permanent appointment process, and KSSK’s statement signals continued coordination across the country’s financial authorities.
