Abstract

Global interest rate policies, especially those implemented by the Fed and the European Central Bank (ECB), have a significant impact on exchange rate stability in developing countries, including Indonesia. Changes in interest rates in developed countries can trigger capital outflows that weaken the rupiah exchange rate, putting pressure on national economic stability. This study aims to analyze the impact of global interest rate policy on rupiah exchange rate stability in Indonesia and assess the role of domestic monetary policy implemented by Bank Indonesia in maintaining such stability. The method used is multiple linear regression to measure the influence of the Fed, ECB, and BI Rate interest rates on the Rupiah exchange rate, as well as the Granger Causality test to explore the causal relationship between these variables. The results show that the Fed and ECB interest rate hikes each cause significant depreciation of the Rupiah, while the increase in the BI Rate is able to stabilize the exchange rate in the short term. The Granger Causality test also shows a causal relationship between global interest rate hikes and the weakening of the rupiah. This study provides empirical evidence that global interest rate policy affects exchange rate stability in Indonesia, and domestic monetary policy plays an important role in mitigating these external impacts

Abstract

Quantitative easing (QE) policy has been central banks' main strategy to deal with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the impact of post-pandemic QE on inflation, financial stability, and global economic growth. The method used was secondary data analysis from central bank reports, international financial institutions, and academic publications, with a research period between 2018 and 2023. The results showed that QE policies contributed significantly to the increase in inflation, with a positive correlation between the amount of assets purchased by the central bank and the inflation rate. In addition, QE also plays a role in stimulating economic growth, albeit on a more moderate scale. This research contributes for policymakers to formulate appropriate monetary strategies to maintain global economic stability without triggering a surge in inflation.

Abstract

Digital financial inclusion has become one of the important strategies in improving the efficiency of payment systems, especially in developing countries. With increasingly widespread access to digital financial services such as mobile money, e-wallets, and digital payment apps, developing countries have great potential to expand access to financial services and reduce dependence on cash. This study aims to analyze the role of digital financial inclusion in improving the efficiency of payment systems in developing countries. The method used is multiple linear regression analysis, which examines the relationship between digital financial inclusion and payment efficiency through variables such as the percentage of users of digital financial services, people's access to these services, and the number of electronic transactions per capita. The results show that digital financial inclusion has a significant influence on improving payment efficiency, characterized by a decrease in transaction costs and shorter time in the payment process. In addition, it was found that digital infrastructure and digital financial literacy are still challenges that need to be overcome to achieve optimal financial inclusion benefits. This research contributes as suggestion for government policies and investments in digital infrastructure are essential to maximize the role of digital financial inclusion in payment systems

Abstract

Inflation is a major challenge faced by many countries, especially amid rising global energy prices. This increase has the potential to disrupt people's purchasing power and economic stability. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies in dealing with inflation triggered by fluctuations in energy prices. The study used a mixed approach with quantitative analysis through multiple linear regression on secondary data from three countries (Indonesia, Brazil, Germany) and in-depth interviews with 12 economists to obtain a qualitative perspective. The results of the analysis show that energy prices have a significant impact on inflation (b3 = 0.75, p < 0.001), and fiscal policies, such as subsidies, can ease the burden of inflation. Coordination between fiscal and monetary policies has proven crucial to achieve economic stability. It was found that 75% of respondents agreed that policy integration can increase effectiveness in tackling inflation. The study concludes that a synergistic approach between fiscal and monetary policy is urgently needed to confront complex inflation challenges amid energy market uncertainty. This research contributes by providing a comprehensive framework for integrating fiscal and monetary policies to effectively manage inflation driven by rising global energy prices.

Abstract

Commodity market volatility has been a significant challenge for monetary policy in many countries, including Indonesia. The increase in commodity prices, especially oil and foodstuffs, has the potential to affect inflation and people's purchasing power. This study aims to analyze the impact of commodity market volatility on monetary policy in Indonesia and understand the policy response taken by Bank Indonesia in dealing with these fluctuations. The methods used in this study include multiple regression analysis to measure the relationship between commodity price volatility and inflation, as well as a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to evaluate the interest rate policy response. The results show that commodity price volatility has a significant positive impact on inflation in Indonesia, with each increase in price volatility contributing to an increase in inflation. In addition, Bank Indonesia needs to respond proactively through interest rate adjustments to maintain economic stability. This research contributes important insights for policymakers on the importance of monitoring global commodity markets and developing diversification strategies to mitigate negative impacts on the domestic economy.

Abstract

The increasing global geopolitical tensions of the last decade have triggered instability in international financial markets, with a notable impact on the exchange rates of emerging currencies, such as the Indonesian rupiah. The rupiah exchange rate, as a key indicator of macroeconomic stability, shows a sensitive response to the escalation of international conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and tensions in the Middle East. This study aims to analyze the impact of geopolitical tensions on the rupiah exchange rate and evaluate the effectiveness of Bank Indonesia's responsive policies in maintaining monetary stability. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative analysis through the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and GARCH (1,1) models, as well as qualitative analysis through the examination of policy documents and market perceptions. The results of the study indicate that the Global Geopolitical Risk Index has a significant impact on the depreciation of the rupiah in both the short and long term. In addition, exchange rate volatility increased substantially during the period of geopolitical escalation, with Bank Indonesia's monetary policy response being effective in shaping market expectations through a forward guidance strategy and consistent policy communication. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening the credibility of monetary institutions and diversifying policy instruments in response to systemic external pressures. This study makes an empirical contribution to the understanding of exchange rate dynamics in the context of global uncertainty and the strategic role of central banks in maintaining national economic stability.

Abstract

Please be aware that in the past two decades, de-dollarization efforts in the Southeast Asian region, particularly Indonesia, have shown significant increases in response to global economic uncertainty and the dominance of the U.S. dollar. This study aims to analyze the trend of de-dollarization in Indonesia, evaluate its impact on monetary sovereignty, and formulate policy recommendations to strengthen Indonesia's position in the regional financial system. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with documentary analysis and secondary quantitative data from official institutions (Bank Indonesia, IMF, ADB, AMRO), this study explores the dynamics of the use of local currencies in bilateral transactions and the diversification of foreign exchange reserves. The results show a significant increase in transactions using the rupiah, especially through the Local Currency Settlement (LCS) framework with Malaysia and Thailand, which increased from 8% in 2017 to 18% in 2022. Additionally, the proportion of foreign exchange reserves held in non-dollar currencies increased, thereby strengthening exchange rate stability and enhancing national monetary policy flexibility. However, structural challenges such as limited financial infrastructure, foreign investor dominance, and economic openness still limit full monetary sovereignty. These findings emphasize the importance of regional policy synergy, strengthening the domestic real sector, and building an inclusive digital financial system. This study makes conceptual contributions to the dedollarization literature and offers strategic recommendations for policymakers to optimize Indonesia's monetary autonomy amid global dynamics.

Abstract

Changes in the benchmark interest rate by monetary authorities are often an important catalyst for financial market dynamics, particularly in influencing the risk perception of foreign investors in developing countries such as Indonesia. In this context, this study aims to analyze the influence of Bank Indonesia's interest rate policy on foreign investors' perception of investment risks, with an event study approach. This study uses secondary data that includes daily stock prices, exchange rates, and foreign capital flows during the period 2020–2023. The research sample consisted of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and actively traded during the observation period. Data analysis techniques include calculation of abnormal returns (AR) and cumulative abnormal returns (CAR), as well as statistical testing with t-tests and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank. The results show that the announcement of interest rate cuts consistently results in abnormal positive returns and increased foreign capital flows, while interest rate hikes lead to abnormal negative returns and capital withdrawals by foreign investors. A significant market response mainly occurred on the 1st to 3rd day after the announcement, which shows the market efficiency of the semi-strong form. These findings confirm that interest rate policy has a high information value and directly influences the risk perception of foreign investors. The practical implications of this study underscore the importance of transparency and consistency of monetary policy communication to maintain market stability and investment attractiveness in Indonesia.

Abstract

The transition to a green economy is a strategic agenda in sustainable development that requires support from various sectors, including the monetary sector. Amid the increasing urgency of climate change mitigation, the central bank's role in integrating sustainability principles into its monetary policy is becoming increasingly relevant. This research aims to analyze the opportunities and challenges of monetary policy in supporting green economic growth, focusing on Bank Indonesia's readiness as a national monetary authority. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with case study methods and thematic and policy analysis techniques. Data were obtained from literature reviews, policy documents, and national and international institutional reports. The results show that although Bank Indonesia has a strategic role in supporting the transformation of the green economy, there are currently no monetary instruments specifically directed to environmental purposes. Limited legal mandates, the unavailability of a green classification framework, and weak coordination between institutions are the main obstacles. This study recommends the reformulation of institutional mandates, the development of green monetary instruments such as green refinancing and differential interest rates, and the establishment of a dedicated unit for climate risk analysis. These findings underscore the importance of integrating sustainability aspects into monetary policy as part of efforts to create sustainable long-term economic stability.
