The Indonesian rupiah fell to a historic low and government bond yields hit a six-year high amid the political crisis. According to Bloomberg, since the beginning of the year the currency has fallen against the dollar by 9%, and the stock index of the Jakarta Composite Index has fallen by 40%. The reaction of the markets is caused by the resignation of the state leadership: during the last 14 months, the minister of finance, the head of the central bank and the vice president left their positions. The agency notes that the situation threatens Indonesia with exclusion from MSCI's emerging markets index.
