- September core inflation was 2.8%, while volatile food inflation reached 5%.
- BI aims to keep volatile food inflation within its target corridor of 2.5% ± 1%.

Inflasi
Destry explained that core inflation in September was 2.8%, showing the economy remains under control. However, volatile food inflation reached 5%, prompting BI to coordinate with the Ministry of Agriculture to keep it within the target corridor of 2.5% ± 1%.
“Ini kami laporkan dan juga koordinasi nanti dengan Kementerian Pertanian bagaimana kita bisa menjaga volatile food inflation masuk ke dalam koridor BI 2,5% plus minus 1%,” kata Destry Damayanti, Gubernur Bank Indonesia, Senin, 19/10/2026.
Nilai tukar
Regarding the rupiah, Destry noted that global volatility remains high, with the U.S. Federal Reserve expected to keep rates higher for longer. Despite this, rupiah stability has been maintained for the past two days, with a slight slowdown consistent with other emerging markets.
“Tapi so far dua hari ini, rupiah bisa kami jaga stabilitasnya sehingga terjadi memang sedikit perlambatan dan itu juga sesuai dengan beberapa negara di emerging market,” lanjutnya.
BI’s interventions in the spot, NDF, and DNDF markets, along with hedging cost incentives introduced in late July, have attracted foreign inflows. To date, these measures have brought in roughly US$8–9 billion in FX swap and DNDF funds.
“Dan hingga saat ini sudah bisa mendatangkan inflow dalam bentuk fx swap ataupun dalam bentuk DNDF senilai sekitar US$8 hingga US$9 miliar. Jadi itu yang disampaikan dari kami,” lanjutnya.
