ELUCIDATION OF
REGULATION OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS NUMBER 20 OF 2026 ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET TRANSACTIONS FOR HEDGING THROUGH PARTNER BANKS
I. GENERAL
In pursuing the objective of achieving rupiah stability, Bank Indonesia formulates and implements monetary policy in a sustainable, consistent, and transparent manner, one of which is carried out through the regulation, development, and supervision of the Foreign Exchange Market. To regulate, develop, and supervise the money market and the Foreign Exchange Market comprehensively on an end-to-end basis, covering products, pricing, market participants, and infrastructure, Bank Indonesia has issued Regulation of Bank Indonesia Number 6 of 2024 on the Money Market and the Foreign Exchange Market. As global financial markets continue to evolve rapidly, these developments have had a significant impact on the rupiah exchange rate and on the volume of transactions undertaken by offshore market participants in domestic Foreign Exchange Market instruments. In response to these developments, Bank Indonesia has expanded and introduced innovations in hedging services for foreign exchange transactions against the rupiah for offshore market participants through partner banks by implementing the Foreign Exchange Market Transactions through Partner Banks scheme. The Foreign Exchange Market Transactions through Partner Banks scheme enables offshore market participants to conduct Foreign Exchange Market transactions for hedging purposes with onshore market participants through OPB, which are subsequently executed on a back-toback basis with DPB as the onshore market participants. To support this scheme, a legal framework is required to provide legal certainty for all participants in Foreign Market Transactions through Partner Banks. In view of the foregoing, it has been deemed necessary to issue this Regulation of Members of the Board of Governors on Foreign Exchange Market Transactions for Hedging through Partner Banks.
