Bord of Governors Meeting Bank Indonesia on February 19th, 2025
BI Maintains Interest Rate, Prioritizes Rupiah Stability Amid Global Uncertainty
BI 7-day Repo Rate: 5.75%
Deposit Facility: 5.00%
Lending Facility: 6.50%
The Bank of Indonesia's Board of Governors Meeting (RDG BI) maintained the interest rate at 5.75%, with a Deposit Facility Rate of 5.00% and a Lending Facility Rate of 6.50% on February 19, 2025. Additionally, BI observed The Fed's interest rate policy, which is expected to cut rates only once by 25 bps in early 2H25. US Treasury Yields (UST) for 10-year and 2-year bonds are expected to remain high due to fiscal deficit planning of 7.7% and 8.8% in 2025 and 2026, respectively, and discussions about eliminating the debt ceiling. The Dollar Index (DXY) also remains strong, reaching its highest level in the past year at 109.77, putting pressure on the rupiah against the US dollar. BI focuses on exchange rate stability to maintain economic growth amid ongoing global turbulence through open market operations in Spot markets, Domestic Non-Deliverable Forward (DNDF), and Government Securities (SBN) in the secondary market. BI considers its efforts successful in maintaining exchange rates at levels comparable to or in line with the currency pair groups of countries such as China, Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore.

U.S. headline inflation rose by 10 basis points to 0.5% MoM in January 2025, from 0.4% MoM in December 2024 and above market expectations of 0.3% MoM.

Indonesia Consumer Confidence Index and Retail Sales January 2025
Consumer Confidence Index: 127.2
Retail Sales: -4.8% MoM* | 0.4% YoY*
*preliminary
Indonesia's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) dipped slightly in January 2024, driven by a decrease in the assessment of current economic conditions, likely due to government budget efficiency policies. However, consumer expectations for the future improved, potentially influenced by declining interest rates. This shift is also reflected in household spending, with a smaller proportion allocated to consumption and a larger share going towards debt payments. Furthermore, retail sales growth is expected to slow significantly in January 2025, following a period of increased spending during the holiday season.

Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves increased by 0.24% MoM to US$156.1 billion in January 2025 from US$155.7 billion in December 2024. This increase was influenced by several factors, including the government's global bond issuance, tax and service revenue realization, and Rupiah exchange rate stabilization policies implemented amid continued uncertainty in international financial markets. Furthermore, the current level of foreign exchange reserves remains high, equivalent to 6.7 months of imports or 6.5 months of government external debt payments. It is above the international adequacy standard of 3 months of imports.
