Main Ideas / Concepts Conveyed

  • Bank Indonesia Day: July 5 is commemorated as Bank Indonesia Day.
  • Shift in regulatory/supervisory roles after OJK formation:
    • After the creation of the Financial Services Authority (OJK)—described as the executor of regulatory and supervisory functions—Bank Indonesia (BI) focuses more on three main functions.

Historical Background

  • 1828: The Javas Bank was established by the Dutch East Indies government as a circulation bank (printing and circulating money).
  • 1953: The Basic Law of Bank Indonesia required the establishment of Bank Indonesia to replace Javas Bank as the central bank.

BI’s Core Objective and the Meaning of Rupiah Stability

  • BI has one single goal: achieving and maintaining stability of the rupiah’s value.
  • This stability has two aspects:
    1. Stability of the currency’s value against goods and services.
    2. Stability of the currency’s value against other countries’ currencies.

BI’s Three Main Functions (Post-OJK)

  • Determining and implementing monetary policy.
  • Regulating and maintaining the smoothness of the payment system.
  • Maintaining the stability of the financial system, framed as macroprudential policy for the financial system as a whole (not individual institutions).

Banking Supervision by BI (System-Focused)

  • BI’s role in regulating and supervising banking remains, but the emphasis is on the system at the macro level.

Authority Over Currency Circulation

  • BI is stated to be the only institution in Indonesia with the right to circulate money.

Leadership Structure of Bank Indonesia

  • BI is led by a Board of Governors:
    • 1 Governor (leader),
    • assisted by a Senior Deputy Governor,
    • and at least 4 to at most 7 Deputy Governors.

Named Leadership and Succession
