Indonesia's central bank governor has resigned early, the government said July 27, deepening uncertainty as the country grapples with a weakening currency and other economic woes brought on by the Middle East war.
President Prabowo Subianto has accepted the resignation of Perry Warjiyo, who had served as Bank Indonesia's governor since 2018, State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi told reporters in Jakarta.
Perry, whose second term was meant to expire in 2028, cited unspecified personal reasons for the surprise resignation, which he tendered on July 25.
