The Indonesian rupiah fell to its weakest level against the dollar in more than 20 years and a 8.93 percent drop since the start of the year on Monday, prompting the country’s central bank to say that it will intervene, CNBC reports.

Analysts say the currency of Southeast Asia’s biggest economy is set to breach the level of 15,000 per dollar for the first time since the depths of the Asian financial crisis in 1998, Bloomberg reports.
