HKIndonesia's Central Bank Governor Perry Warjiyo has resigned unexpectedly, according to State Secretariat Minister Prasetyo Hadi. President Prabowo Subianto has accepted the resignation, with senior deputy governor Destry Damayanti serving as interim governor. Analysts suggest the move could unsettle investors concerned about the central bank's independence and fiscal management. Warjiyo cited personal reasons for his departure, though specifics were not provided. His tenure spanned two five-year terms since 2018. The transition raises concerns about potential political influence, particularly if Prabowo's nephew, Thomas Djiwandano, takes over, as the position is seen as critical to maintaining institutional autonomy.
