I. GENERAL
In order to support Bank Indonesia’s objective to achieve and maintain Rupiah value stability, Bank Indonesia may perform monetary control under sharia principles as mandated in Act Number 23 of 1999 concerning Bank Indonesia as last amended by Act Number 6 of 2009 concerning Establishment of Government Regulation in Lieu of Act Number 2 of 2008 on the Second Amendment to Act Number 23 of 1999 concerning Bank Indonesia. One of the measurements of successful objective achievement is controlled annual inflation rate set as the final target of Bank Indonesia’s duty in monetary sector. In order to achieve the final target of monetary policies, one of the monetary control methods under sharia principle is by implementation of sharia monetary operations to affect liquidity adequacy of Rupiah and foreign currencies of sharia banks. In the implementation, Bank Indonesia may perform sharia monetary operations in the form of absorption or injection of Rupiah liquidity. In addition, Bank Indonesia considers it necessary to increase liquidity management and development of domestic foreign currency market by providing sharia instruments in foreign currency. In performing sharia monetary operations in the form of absorption or injection of Rupiah liquidity, it is necessary to observe the implementation of Bank Indonesia’s

duty in payment system. One of Bank Indonesia’s efforts to maintain smooth payment system is by providing intraday liquidity facility under sharia principles. Therefore, congruent regulation is necessary in monetary and payment system. Sharia instruments used in the implementation of sharia monetary operations have obtained fatwa and/or sharia opinion from the authority competent in issuing fatwa and/or sharia opinions.
