Indonesian Students Protest Against Rupiah Depreciation In Semarang

Students from the Indonesian Student Executive Board Alliance (BEM SI) burn mock banknotes during a protest titled ''Rupiah Sekarat, Rakyat Berteriak'' (''The Rupiah is Dying, the People are Screaming'') outside Bank Indonesia's Central Java Representative Office, the regional office of Indonesia's central bank, in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, on June 5, 2026. The protesters express concerns over the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah against the U.S. dollar, which reached a historic low near Rp18,000 per U.S. dollar earlier this week, amid issues related to inflation, purchasing power, and the national economy.
