Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo touted his credentials as a crisis-hardened central banker while the government prepares to select nominees for his successor over the next couple of months.
In an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin on Thursday, Warjiyo, 63, spoke of his mettle navigating challenges since he joined Bank Indonesia nearly four decades ago. Most recent of which was during the pandemic, which drove Southeast Asia’s largest economy to its deepest slump in two decades and the rupiah to an all-time low.
