Less than a week after Perry Warjiyo resigned as the head of Bank Indonesia (BI), names of potential candidates for his replacement have begun to surface.President Prabowo Subianto hinted at interim governor Destry Damayanti in a speech he delivered on Thursday in Batang, Central Java.
In the salutations, Prabowo did not immediately go on to the next individual after naming Destry but took a brief detour to ask the audience: “How is she? Okay? It’s up to the House of Representatives”.
The Financial Sector Development and Strengthening (P2SK) Law stipulates that the president nominates up to three BI governor candidates but the final decision rests with the House.
