BI JISDOR Rupiah Weakens Following Perry Warjiyo's Resignation Announcement (Monday, July 27, 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Bank Indonesia's (BI) Jakarta Interbank Spot Dollar Rate (JISDOR) data showed that the U.S. dollar stood at Rp17,995 against the rupiah at the close of trading on Monday (July 27, 2026).
The rupiah weakened 0.12% from Rp17,973 per US dollar at the close of trading on the previous Friday.
The depreciation came as news of BI Governor Perry Warjiyo's resignation was announced on Monday.
According to State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, as reported by Katadata, the government has received Perry Warjiyo's resignation letter and will soon process his dismissal through a presidential decree.
"As of yesterday, we officially received Governor Perry Warjiyo's resignation letter addressed to the President," Prasetyo Hadi said during a press conference on Monday (July 27, 2026).
KB Valbury Sekuritas Senior Economist Fikri C. Permana said Perry's resignation could become a significant negative sentiment for Indonesia's financial markets.
"I believe Mr. Perry's resignation will be a fairly significant negative sentiment," Fikri told Katadata.
According to Fikri, the uncertainty surrounding the leadership transition at Bank Indonesia could put further downward pressure on the rupiah.
Meanwhile, Lukman Leong, an analyst at Doo Financial Futures, said the rupiah actually had room to strengthen as geopolitical tensions eased following the halt in hostilities between the United States and Iran.
However, he noted that any gains would likely be limited as investors remain in a wait-and-see mode ahead of a series of key U.S. economic releases, including gross domestic product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation, and the outcome of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.
"The rupiah has the potential to strengthen against the U.S. dollar amid easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, the upside may be limited as investors remain in wait-and-see mode ahead of key U.S. economic data releases. In addition, the resignation of the BI governor could also weigh on the rupiah," Lukman said.
