The facts
The Finance Ministry's communications chief Deni Surjantono said on 24 April 2026 that both claims were untrue and the budget remained sound. The rupiah had weakened to about Rp17,300 per dollar on 23 April 2026, a 3.54 percent year-to-date fall that Bank Indonesia said was in line with regional currencies.
