MACROECONOMICS - JAKARTA. Indonesia's central bank kept its benchmark rate steady on Thursday, as expected, saying current policy was conducive to anchoring inflation, supporting economic growth and maintaining financial market stability.
The benchmark 7-day reverse repurchase rate was kept at 5.00%, where it has been since Bank Indonesia's (BI) last rate cut in October, as predicted by the majority of analysts in a Reuters poll.
