JAKARTA — Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has nominated Bank Indonesia Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti to replace Perry Warjiyo as the central bank chief. Destry Damayanti has been serving as acting governor since Warjiyo stepped down.

The nomination, announced on Monday, August 10, 2026, limits the House of Representatives' role in selecting Warjiyo's successor by putting forward only one candidate. Analysts have welcomed the move, noting it ensures continuity and steady leadership as Bank Indonesia navigates strong global economic headwinds.
