# Waduh, Rupiah Berisiko ke Rp 16.200/US$?

> The rupiah fell 4.61% to 15,900 per US dollar at the close on Thursday, its largest one-day drop since October 2008 and its weakest close in history. Capital outflows tied to the COVID-19 pandemic have continued, with Rp 78.76 trillion leaving the bond market from late 2019 to March 17. Bank Indonesia cut rates again to cushion the economic impact.

## Why it matters

Sharp currency depreciation makes dollar-priced feed inputs more expensive for Indonesian buyers, and the outflows add pressure on import-dependent feed and livestock costs. The move also reinforces dollar strength against emerging-market currencies.
