In the 1990s about the value of the rupiah against the U.S. dollar was still around 0.00-Rp2 Rp1.500 .000,00 per U.S. dollar. Currently, the exchange rate moves around Rp9.000, 00 per U.S. dollar.

"Why would a good momentum for the movement of the exchange rate relatively stable despite global economic turmoil. But it needs intensive socialization. If not now when again?" he said.
