Indonesia’s central bank kept its key interest rate unchanged for the first time in three meetings as more favorable macroeconomic data looks to have slowed the rupiah’s slide for now, according to Nikkei Asian Review. Singapore’s Today Online reported that the decision was consistent with ongoing efforts to reduce the current account deficit within a manageable threshold, while maintaining the attractiveness of domestic financial markets, thereby bolstering external resilience in Indonesia against a backdrop of persistently high global uncertainty. In September, the World Bank said while Indonesia’s economic condition is less favorable than before due to the heightened global uncertainty, Indonesia’s economic outlook continues to be positive with domestic demand being the main driver of growth.
