Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo resigned unexpectedly, and Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti was appointed interim governor. Markets reacted with concern about potential damage to the central bank’s independence, sending the rupiah down as much as 0.14% to 17,960 per dollar and pushing the Jakarta Composite Index down 0.68% early on. The resignation follows a parliamentary bill that strengthened BI’s growth-support role and gave lawmakers binding recommendation powers over financial regulators and the central bank.
