There may be a meeting with BI.

President Prabowo Subianto accepted Warjiyo's resignation, which was submitted on Sunday, July 26, 2026. State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi announced the President's acceptance, noting it followed applicable regulations and expressing "highest appreciation and gratitude" for Warjiyo's nearly seven years of leadership. The government will proceed with the official dismissal process.

We got the information from the news.

According to Indonesian law, Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti will temporarily step in as acting BI Governor. The central bank cited "personal reasons" for Warjiyo's departure, as communicated by Executive Director of BI's Communications Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso. The news of the leadership change comes as Indonesia's stock market experienced a fall ahead of a Federal Reserve decision.
