Indonesia Tasa De Interés

The Bank of Indonesia maintained its benchmark interest rate at 6% during its December 2024 meeting, aligning with market expectations. This decision reflected the central bank's commitment to keeping inflation under control within the target range of 2.5% ± 1% for 2024 and 2025, as well as stabilizing the Rupiah amid heightened global uncertainties. Indonesia's annual inflation rate eased to 1.55% in November 2024 from 1.71% in the previous month, marking its lowest level since July 2021 and remaining comfortably within the target range. Meanwhile, the Rupiah depreciated by 1.37% (as of December 17, 2024) compared to the previous month, weighed down by rising global uncertainties, such as the US policy path, limited room for FFR cuts, broad-based US dollar strengthening, and geopolitical risks that shifted global investor preference back to US assets. The overnight deposit and lending facility rates were also held steady at 5.25% and 6.75%, respectively.
