0202 GMT - Acting Bank Indonesia Gov. Destry Damayanti looks like a front-runner to become the next central bank governor, with a permanent appointment expected within the next two months, Bahana Sekuritas economist Purbiantoro Lintang says in a note. Her appointment would ensure policy continuity after Perry Warjiyo's resignation, given her role in shaping the central bank's current policy framework since 2019, and she is widely regarded as a market-friendly policymaker, he says. The economist expects markets to remain cautious until a permanent governor is formally appointed. Investors will be closely watching Bank Indonesia's next policy meeting and coming central bank securities auctions for signs that support for the rupiah remains unchanged, he adds.
