MACROECONOMY Bank Indonesia Raises Interest Rates to 6.25% Bank Indonesia (BI) has decided to increase the BI Rate by 25 basis points to 6.25%, citing pressure on the IDR and rising global uncertainties. Such a move deviates from our base case /the consensus of no rate change, although calls for rate hikes were already increasing, especially with the absence of monetary contraction in recent weeks. The aim is to proactively address potential risks, such as delayed or no rate cuts by the Fed in 2024 and heightened tensions in the Middle East. (Bank Indonesia)
Comment: In our assessment, BI's window to lower the BI Rate in 2024 is narrowing, given their baseline scenario indicating only one rate cut by the Fed in December 2024. Faster rate cuts are unlikely, as they could undermine IDR stabilization due to lower yields and rate spreads. (Economic Research – BRIDS)
