TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa's schedule to visit the Tanjung Priok Customs Office in North Jakarta suddenly changed. On the morning of Saturday, June 6, 2026, he was asked to head instead to the parliamentary complex in Senayan, Central Jakarta. At Nusantara III Building, the office of the House of Representatives (DPR) leadership, Deputy House Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad was already waiting.
Dasco had invited not only Purbaya but also Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo. State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi and Mohamad Hekal, Deputy Chair of House Commission XI, which oversees finance and banking among other sectors, also attended the closed-door meeting at around 9am.
According to Dasco, the meeting was held to evaluate economic developments. "The parties coordinated fiscal and monetary policy so that their respective measures can support one another for stronger economic growth," he told reporters after the meeting.
The impromptu gathering took place a day after Indonesia's financial markets slid further. On Friday, June 5, the rupiah plunged to a new record low of 18,067 per United States dollar in the spot market. The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) also tumbled 4.1 percent, closing down 245.02 points at 5,594.77.
