"We would continue market monitoring and would not hesitate to intervene when needed," Deputy Governor of the central bank Perry Warjiyo said here on Monday.
Perry said intervention by the central bank had resulted in a decline in the countrys foreign exchange reserves.
In June the countrys foreign exchange reserves were valued at US$108 billion , down from US$110.8 billion a month earlier.
"Our foreign exchange reserves declined because of the spending in the market intervention," Perry said.
He said rupiah fall in value followed the global economic uncertainty and the possibility of the Fed to raise its fund rate and Greek financial crisis.
"Chinese slowdown also contributed to the share price fall in Indonesia," he said.
The national currency has depreciated since early August when it sank in value to the level of 13,500 per US dollar from 13,3000 a month earlier. (*)
