Bank Indonesia Deputy Governor Budi Mulya is under investigation by the state auditor regarding a personal loan he obtained from the former owner of PT Bank Century Tbk, Robert Tantular.
Budi Mulya obtained the IDR1 billion rupiah loan in October 2008 and returned it in January 2009. Bank Century, and its IDR6.7 trillion-rupiah government bailout in 2008, was at the center of a campaign by opposition lawmakers against Vice President Boediono and former Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati that accused them of abuse of authority. Boediono was central bank governor when the Bank Century rescue was approved.
Bank Indonesia relieved Mulya of his role as head of the central bank's monetary policy operations as of the end of last month. Deputy Governors Halim Alamsyah and Hartadi A. Sarwono will assume Mulya's role.
Halim Alamsyah will lead the central bank's monetary policy operations and Sarwono will lead its foreign-exchange reserve management. The central bank already has one vacancy among its six deputy governor positions, after Budi Rochadi died in July. A third deputy, Muliaman Hadad, has his term finishing in coming months.
