The rupiah weakened further on April 23 to around 17,306 per dollar, briefly breaching 17,300. Bank Indonesia Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti attributed the pressure to global uncertainty affecting regional currencies and cited a year-to-date depreciation of 3.54%.
The central bank said it was intervening in NDF, spot, and bond markets and that reserves stood at 148.2 billion dollars.
