Facing such challenges, Bank Indonesia continues to optimize monetary policy responses to control price levels and maintain the Rupiah stability. Indonesia\u2019s economy remains resilient despite the global uncertainty. Economic growth in the first two quarters of 2024 is expected to exceed growth in the fourth quarter of 2023, supported by solid domestic demand during the Ramadan and festive period. On the regional front, Bank Indonesia has been working on its Local Currency Transaction (LCT) initiative to promote the use of local currencies in bilateral trade transactions with several countries over the past few years. The LCT aims to strengthen cross-border trade, enhance regional financial market stability, and deepen the local currency market in the Asian region. This initiative aligns with the financial integration efforts in the region to facilitate the broader use of local currencies.<\/p>\n<h5>Date &amp; Time<\/h5>\n<p>Monday, May 27, 2024<\/p>\n<p>10:25 am -11:25 am (JST, registration starts at 10:10)<\/p>\n<h5>Venue<\/h5>\n<p>Lecture Hall B, 4th floor, International Academic Research Building, Hongo Campus, The University of Tokyo (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pp.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GraSPP-affiliated-building-placement-map-20200316.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MAP<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h5>Host<\/h5>\n<p>Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP), The University of Tokyo<\/p>\n<h5>Co-hosts<\/h5>\n<p>Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI)<\/p>\n<p>Bank Indonesia Representative Office in Tokyo<\/p>\n<h5>Language<\/h5>\n<p>English<\/p>\n<h5>Registration<\/h5>\n<p>Requested by Friday, May 24<\/p>\n<p>Please register <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/pe74DGrQFKD9LB3y9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2020 Graduate School of Public Policy collects personal information to provide you with the event URL and information about our current and future activities.\u202fYour personal information will not be disclosed to any third party.<\/p>\n<h5>Program<\/h5>\n<p>Welcome remarks by Dean Daiji Kawaguchi<\/p>\n<p>Lecture by Destry Damayanti, Senior Deputy Governor, Bank Indonesia<\/p>\n<p>Dialogue with the audience<\/p>\n<p>Moderated by Prof. Toshiro Nishizawa<\/p>\n<h5>Speaker<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Destry Damayanti<\/strong>, Senior Deputy Governor, Bank Indonesia<\/p>\n<p>Destry Damayanti is the senior deputy governor of Bank Indonesia, serving from 2019 to 2024, and a member of Indonesia Deposit Insurance Company\u2019s Board of Commissioners ex-officio from Bank Indonesia.
