en.malanginspirasi.com – The Bank Indonesia Board of Governors (RDG) meeting on June 17-18, 2026, decided to raise the BI Rate by 25 bps to 5.75 percent, the Deposit Facility rate by 25 bps to 4.75 percent, and the Lending Facility rate by 25 bps to 6.50 percent.
Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjiyo announced it at a press conference in Jakarta on Thursday (June 18, 2026).
According to Perry, this increase is a further step to further strengthen the stabilization of the Rupiah exchange rate amidst persistently high global uncertainty and a preemptive measure to keep inflation in 2026 and 2027 within the government’s target range of 2.5±1 percent.
Meanwhile, macroprudential and payment system policies remain geared towards supporting pro-growth growth.
“Loose macroprudential policies continue to be strengthened to encourage economic growth by increasing credit/financing to the real sector while maintaining financial system stability,” said Perry Warjiyo.

He added that payment system policies remain geared towards supporting economic activity by expanding digital payment acceptance, strengthening the payment system industry structure, and increasing the reliability and resilience of payment system infrastructure.
Perry explained that Bank Indonesia also continues to strengthen policy coordination with the government, including close synergy between monetary and fiscal policies.
This is to mitigate the impact of global uncertainty due to the war in the Middle East on the domestic economy, thereby maintaining economic stability and growth.
“Policy synergy with the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK) is also being strengthened to help maintain financial system stability and encourage financing for the government’s Asta Cita program,” said the BI Governor.
