Indonesian Parliament Appoints Destry Bank Head
Indonesian lawmakers have appointed Destry Damayanti as the first female central bank head. She announced an upgraded growth forecast reaching up to 6 percent next year, prioritizing economic stability amid global uncertainty.
Indonesia's parliament voted Tuesday afternoon to appoint Destry Damayanti as the central bank's first female governor, lifting the 2027 growth forecast up to 6%. The appointment follows the surprise resignation of former governor Perry Warjiyo in July after policy disagreements with the finance ministry. The new leadership arrives as investors scrutinize central bank autonomy under President Prabowo Subianto's administration.
