Bank Indonesia (BI), the central bank of the Republic of Indonesia, operates a managed floating currency regime. IDR is not allowed to be transferred offshore. The Indonesian Rupiah was first issued on 3 October 1946, a year after the Independence Proclamation of the Republic in 17 August 1945. With the highest bank note token at 100,000 Rupiah, there have been plans to redenominate the currency by truncating the last three zero digits (dividing by 1000). Crude palm oil, rubber, minerals and garments are Indonesia’s main export, while the country is now a net importer of oil. Trade, capital markets and equity markets are the main drivers for FX volume in Indonesia with foreign ownership of around 40% and 60% in capital and listed equities in the stock exchange respectively.
