politician Indonesia

Soedrajad Djiwandono was the Governor of Bank Indonesia during the late 1990s and played a crucial role in managing Indonesia's monetary policy during the Asian Financial Crisis. He is often remembered for his optimistic assertions about the stability of the Indonesian economy leading up to the 1998 crisis, where he claimed that the fundamentals were strong and that the rupiah would remain stable despite external pressures. His tenure was marked by significant challenges, including a steep depreciation of the rupiah and severe economic turmoil that eventually led to a complete overhaul of the Indonesian banking system.
