Perry Warjiyo Resigns as Bank Indonesia Governor

July 27, 2026

Perry Warjiyo voluntarily resigned as governor of Bank Indonesia on July 25, 2026 for personal reasons. Destry Damayanti was appointed acting governor of BI.

Perbanas urged market players and the public not to speculate following the resignation. Perbanas Chairman Hery Gunardi stressed the need to maintain trust in the stability of the financial sector.

President Prabowo Subianto led a meeting of the KSSK at Merdeka Palace on July 27, 2026. Destry Damayanti said the KSSK is committed to strengthening coordination and supporting government policies.

Destry asked the market to stay calm and affirmed that monetary policy and foreign exchange market interventions will remain consistent. Airlangga Hartarto added that the Bank Indonesia institution continues to carry out its functions.

DPR Commission XI has not yet received a nominee name from President Prabowo. The appointment process will follow the Bank Indonesia Law with DPR approval.
