BI Still Holds Policy Rate In January   As expected, Bank Indonesia’s (BI) board of governors continued to keep the 7-day repo rate – the benchmark policy rate – unchanged on 18 Jan. This was for the fourth straight month after the central bank cut rates in Aug and Sep 2017. As major central banks are on tightening mode – and BI has front-loaded its interest rate cuts – we believe the central bank will likely keep its key policy rate unchanged in 2018.   Economist: Rizki Fajar| +6221 2970 7065
