The new head of Bank Indonesia said the intensity of its rupiah defense remains unchanged even as it relies less on costly spot-market interventions and increasingly uses derivatives. The central bank is diversifying its foreign-exchange interventions, with spot transactions now accounting for only around 30% of total interventions, and the rest being operations in non-deliverable forwards markets. Bank Indonesia's monetary policy is focused on stability, and the bank is seeking to maintain a yield spread that investors receive at a fairly affordable cost, while also supporting growth as the economy is operating below capacity.
- Bank Indonesia is shifting its foreign-exchange intervention strategy, reducing reliance on costly spot-market actions and increasing the use of derivatives like non-deliverable forwards to defend the rupiah.
- The central bank aims to maintain rupiah stability and a favorable yield spread for investors while supporting economic growth, navigating challenges from rising US Treasury yields and oil prices.
- Despite tactical shifts, the intensity of Bank Indonesia's commitment to rupiah defense remains unchanged, with a focus on preserving foreign-exchange reserves and managing market volatility.
