Dollar vs Rupiah Analysis

I need a clear, well-sourced comparison that answers a simple question: in practical terms, which currency carries more weight in Indonesia—the US dollar or the Indonesian rupiah? Please walk me through both the numerical exchange-rate difference and the broader economic context that makes those numbers matter to businesses and consumers on the ground. What I expect from you • A concise written brief (no more than 2-3 pages) explaining current and historical USD/IDR rates, the relative purchasing power of each currency inside Indonesia, and any notable economic events that have influenced the gap. • At least one visual (chart or graph) that illustrates the exchange-rate trend over a relevant time frame you choose. • A short concluding section that spells out, in plain language, “which is bigger” and why that answer can shift depending on the metric considered. • Citations or links to the official data sources you used (Bank Indonesia, Federal Reserve, World Bank, etc.). Feel free to use tools like Excel, Google Sheets, or Python for your calculations and visuals—the choice is yours as long as the final files are easy for me to open. I’m open to your suggestions on scope and depth, but please keep the explanation straightforward and avoid unnecessary jargon.
