Bank Indonesia (BI) has received The Best Systemic and Prudential Regulator in Asia Pacific Award 2025 from The Asian Banker.

This award acknowledges BI’s effective implementation of accommodative and well-targeted macroprudential policies to maintain financial system stability amid global uncertainty.

It also recognizes BI’s success in managing the digital financial ecosystem.

Strategic Measures Behind the Award

The Asian Banker highlighted three key steps taken by BI. First, BI has applied macroprudential instruments to mitigate sector-specific risks while allowing room for sound economic growth.

Second, BI conducts high-quality stress tests regularly by simulating extreme scenarios.

Third, BI exercises oversight of the digital financial ecosystem, including licensing and capital regulation.

These measures have helped strengthen resilience to shocks and support a safer, more efficient financial environment.

Statement from Deputy Governor Juda Agung

BI Deputy Governor Juda Agung accepted the award during The Asian Banker Summit 2025 in Jakarta on May 21.

He stated, “This award is evidence of BI’s commitment to the resilience of the financial system. However, macroprudential policy must not only safeguard stability, but also support sustainable economic growth. Because financial stability without growth is not sustainable.”

He also expressed appreciation for the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK), emphasizing its strong commitment and collaboration as essential to maintaining Indonesia’s financial stability.
