Indonesian Interest Rate Cut – Currency Thoughts

Indonesian Interest Rate Cut

July 16, 2025

With that trade deal secured, Bank Indonesia cut its interest rate today by 25 basis points to 5.25%. The rate reduction had been expected in light of in-target Indonesian inflation and a stable rupiah. At 5.25%, the new rate level is its lowest since December 2022 and down from the 6.25% peak maintained from April into September of last year. Current CPI inflation in the economy of 1.9% lies in the lower half of the 1.5-3.5% target range and has been below the mid-point of that band since June 2024.
