If confirmed, she would become the first woman to lead the central bank.
Destry, 63, is a veteran economist and central banker whose career spans academia, investment banking, government and financial-sector regulation.
It was the currency’s strongest level in a month, suggesting markets welcomed the prospect of a permanent and familiar hand at the central bank.
What’s next for Bank Indonesia?
