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. By PHINTRACO SEKURITAS | Research - Disclaimer On -

The Fed Interest Rate January 2025

31 Jan 2025
FOMC January 30th 2025: 4.25-4.50% (unchanged)
Previous: 4.25-4.50% The Fed decided to maintain interest rate within the range of 4.25–4.50% on January 30, 2025. Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that the U.S. central bank required a temporary pause to further observe inflation trends following a prior rate reduction at the end of the previous year (19/12). This policy was adopted due to the continued strength of the U.S. economy and the diminished restrictive impact of interest rates on economic activity compared to earlier periods. Additionally, stable labor market conditions allowed Fed policymakers to delay adjustments to the benchmark rate until more concrete evidence of a sustained decline in inflation materializes. As measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, inflation data stood at 2.40% year-over-year (YoY) in November 2024, while market consensus projections anticipated an increase to 2.60% YoY in December 2024.

BI Cuts Rates Amidst Global Uncertainty, Targeting Economic Growth

16 Jan 2025
BI 7-day Repo Rate: 5.75% Deposit Facility: 5.00% Lending Facility: 6.50% The Bank of Indonesia (BI) Board of Governors meeting cut the interest rate by 25 bps to 5.75%, with the Deposit Facility rate at 5.00% and the Lending Facility rate at 6.50% on January 15, 2025. This move aims to support Indonesia's economic growth target. Additionally, it ensures inflation remains within the 2.5±1% target for 2025 and 2026. BI also focuses on maintaining pro-market stability for the Rupiah exchange rate through open market operations in the Spot market, Domestic Non-Deliverable Forward (DNDF), and Government Securities (SBN) in the secondary market. The interest rate reduction was influenced by global factors, including decreased uncertainty in Trump administration policies, namely a 7.7% fiscal deficit, and anticipation of the impact of rising US Treasury Yield (UST) 10-year rates. BI also forecasts only one cut rate 25 bps in the Fed Fund Rate (FFR) in 2025, affecting the Dollar Index (DXY) movement. In domestic factor, recent data shows Indonesia's inflation rate is lower than BI's target. Furthermore, BI considers the exchange rate relatively stable and aligned with Indonesia's economic fundamentals. Lastly, BI projects lower economic growth for Indonesia in 2025 than previously estimated. By PHINTRACO SEKURITAS | Research - Disclaimer On -

Indonesia’s Trade Surplus Continues, But Faces Headwinds

16 Jan 2025
Balance of Trade: US$ 2.24 billion Export: US$ 23.46 billion Import: US$ 21.22 billion Indonesia's trade balance surplus decreased by 48.74% MoM to US$2.24 billion in December 2024 (Figure 1). Nevertheless, this continues the surplus trend that has persisted for 56 consecutive months since May 2020. The decline in Indonesia's trade balance surplus was due to a decrease in the non-oil and gas surplus to US$4.00 billion in December 2024 from US$5.62 billion in November 2024 (-28.8% MoM). Export performance was supported by significant export commodities of natural resources such as coal, palm oil, its derivatives, and iron and steel. Meanwhile, the oil and gas balance showed an increase in deficit to US$1.76 billion in December 2024 from a deficit of US$1.26 billion in November 2024. This was caused by the rise in domestic oil and gas demand volume, leading to higher imports of crude oil products (27.5% MoM) and an increase in the average price of oil and gas imports (0.6% MoM).
