IDR, USD, and Living Cost

Can Indonesian Rupiah withstand US dollar?

The Indonesian Rupiah has weakened from August 2014. Grew a bit fluctuated until it dropped in December 2014 and got it lowest peak at March 2015. After that, it tried to strengthen its position and got almost stable. However, there is a prediction that the IDR would fall again and quite deeply if the now stabilities cannot be held until two or three months again at least.


What will Indonesia’s Central Bank do to withstand the crisis? Moreover, the crude oil seems to climb and there is a problem with the country’s vital trading partner that may affected the economic growth. Can Indonesia government solve the problem or will the living cost expand? We need to wait for further development.
