The weakening rupiah, now trading around Rp18,000 per U.S. dollar, is increasing pressure on import-dependent businesses.

Analyst says rupiah stability requires fiscal discipline, healthy financial markets, clear external sector strategy, and stronger policy credibility.

Director of PT Traze Andalan Futures, Ibrahim Assuaibi, predicts the exchange rate of the rupiah to continue weakening to 19,000 per US dollar by the end of June.
