Indonesia’s Prabowo Taps Destry Damayanti as Central Bank Chief to Calm Markets

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto nominated Destry Damayanti as the sole candidate to head the central bank. The move may calm markets after veteran Governor Perry Warjiyo unexpectedly resigned in late July. Damayanti's nomination now awaits approval from the Indonesian parliament, with market participants viewing her as a stabilizing choice amid recent policy uncertainty.
