ank Indonesia (BI) has appointed two new deputy governors who pledged to support the central bank’s efforts to revive the economy and work on other pressing issues.
Juda Agung and Aida Budiman replace Sugeng and Rosmaya Hadi, whose terms have ended.
Their terms as deputy governors under BI Governor Perry Warjiyo and Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti began on Thursday and are set to end in 2027.
“Today, on Thursday, Jan. 6, 2021, Juda Agung and Aida S. Budiman took the oath of office as deputy governors of Bank Indonesia before Supreme Court chief Justice [Muhammad Syarifuddin],” the bank reported on Thursday.
Juda, who earned his PhD in economics from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom in 1999, said he was planning to enhance the cooperation with the BI governor and other members of the board to address economic challenges of the future.
Digitalization, financial inclusion and climate change are challenges Juda cited in his statement following the ceremony.
Juda added he was planning to continue supporting the strengthening of collaboration between the government and other authorities in spurring economic growth.
