Indonesian Rupiah Hits Record Low of 17,525 Per Dollar; Central Bank Pledges Market Intervention

According to Bank Indonesia Deputy Senior Governor Destry Damayanti, the Indonesian rupiah fell to a record low of 17,525 per US dollar on Tuesday (May 13), prompting the central bank to pledge targeted intervention in the foreign exchange market. The rupiah has depreciated nearly 5% year-to-date, making it one of the worst-performing currencies among emerging markets. Damayanti attributed the pressure to elevated oil prices and increased dollar demand from debt repayment, dividend repatriation, and pilgrimage-related expenses.
