Beyond the US Dollar: Local Currency Settlement dan Masa Depan Integrasi Keuangan ASEAN

Abstract
The Local Currency Settlement (LCS) initiative is a strategic instrument to promote ASEAN regional financial integration while reducing dependence on the US dollar in trade and investment transactions. Sub-regional cooperation between Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand has become an important policy arena to test the effectiveness of LCS as part of the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint 2025. This article aims to analyze the role, opportunities, and challenges of LCS implementation within the framework of ASEAN financial integration, focusing on the dynamics of cooperation between the three countries. The research uses a qualitative approach through literature review and policy analysis. Data were obtained from official central bank documents, regional cooperation agreements, international agency reports, and academic literature related to financial integration and regional monetary cooperation. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically to identify implementation patterns, structural barriers, and policy implications. The results of the study indicate that LCS contributes to increasing the efficiency of cross-border transactions, reducing exchange rate risk, and strengthening sub-regional ASEAN financial cooperation. However, its implementation remains limited due to differences in financial infrastructure readiness, variations in domestic regulations, and low adoption by business actors. This article emphasizes the importance of policy coordination, regulatory harmonization, and private sector involvement to optimize the role of the LCS in supporting ASEAN financial integration.
