Ia menambahkan, meski rupiah pada akhir-akhir ini sempat tertekan akibat kasus subprime mortgage namun berbagai langkah bank sentral asing terutama The Federal Reserves Bank Sentral AS untuk mengendalikan masalah tersebut bekerja dengan baik sehingga pada tahun 2008 diharapkan keadaan rupiah semakin terkendali.
