HISTORY OF BANK INDONESIA

On 24 January 1828, the Makasar

Administration founded a circulation bank called
De Javasche Bank (DJB). For decades this
bank was operating and developing based upon
a exclusive right of the Dutch Kingdom rulers.
Such exclusive became a act, namely the DJB
Bank Act of 1922.

HISTORY OF BANK INDONESIA

The Japanese occupation virtually halted the DJB

activities and the Dutch Indies banking for a while.

During the revolution era, the Dutch Indies

Administration was confronted with the power dualism,
between the Republic of Indonesia (RI) and
Nederlansche Indische Civil Administrative (NICA).

Likewise, the banking institution was divided into two,

DJB and other Dutch Banks in the NICA territories, and
“Jajasan Poesat Bank Indonesia” and Bank Negara
Indonesia in the Republic of Indonesia’s territories.

HISTORY OF BANK INDONESIA

The Round Table Conference in 1949 ended the

clashes between Indonesian and Holland. As a
result, DJB was determined as the Central Bank
for the Republic Indonesian Serikat (RIS).

This status remained until the return of the

Republic of Indonesia to the unitary state.
Afterwards, as sovereign nation and state, the
Republic of Indonesia nationalized its Central
Bank. As from 1 July 1953, DJB became Bank
Indonesia as the Central Bank for the Republic
of Indonesia.
