JAKARTA, March 21 (Reuters): Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjiyo secured a second five-year term on Tuesday after parliament unanimously agreed to back his reappointment.

The approval came after Warjiyo told parliament's financial committee a day earlier that monetary policy would be geared towards maintaining stability in South-East Asia's largest economy until 2024 amid global uncertainties.
