TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bank Indonesia and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) have agreed to renew their Bilateral Currency Swap Arrangement (BCSA).
The agreement was signed by BI Governor Perry Warjiyo and RBA Governor Michele Bullock and is effective from March 4, 2025, for a period of five years.
The deal allows for the exchange of local currencies between the two central banks, with a value of up to AU$10 billion or approximately US$6.2 billion, with the equivalent value in Rupiah.
