The Indonesian government is working with central bank governor Perry Warjiyo to cushion the country’s economy from the rise in the US dollar, according to its finance minister.

“We work very closely with Governor Perry,” Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said in a Bloomberg Television interview on the sidelines of the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group in Washington. The administration is focused on ensuring that fiscal policy can work as “an effective and credible shock absorber,” she said.
