Indonesia's central bank kept interest rates unchanged on Thursday, as expected, saying the current level remained consistent with efforts to stabilise the rupiah even after the currency dropped to its weakest in more than four years.
Bank Indonesia (BI) kept the seven-day reverse repurchase rate at 6.25%, as forecast by 29 of 32 economists polled by Reuters.
The central bank also held its overnight deposit facility and lending facility rates steady at 5.50% and 7.00%, respectively.
