Prabowo Nominates Destry Damayanti as Bank Indonesia Governor
State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said the selection process for the Bank Indonesia Governor post now rests with lawmakers.
President Prabowo Subianto proposed BI Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti as the candidate for Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor to succeed Perry Warjiyo. Prabowo submitted the nomination to State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, who announced the selection at the House of Representatives (DPR) in Jakarta. The government sent three presidential letters to the DPR, including the nomination for BI Governor and replacements for Senior Deputy Governor and Deputy Governors.
The Central Bank of Indonesia (BI) will have only one candidate for the Governor position, which is Destry Damayanti, who is currently serving as the Acting Governor. Perry Warjiyo resigned from his position on July 25, 2026, citing personal reasons. Destry Damayanti confirmed Warjiyo's voluntary resignation in a press conference on July 27, 2026.
She emphasized that BI would continue to uphold its duties to maintain financial stability and collaborate with the government as required.
