Bank of Indonesia not likely to ease monetary policy

It needs to stabilize the currency and external balances above all else.

According to DBS, despite improvements in the external environment and a more positive outlook for capital flows, these do not mean that monetary policy in Indonesia will turn more accommodative.

"Weak global demand conditions and high oil prices mean that Bank Indonesia will have to pay more attention to currency stability and external balances, obliging tighter monetary policy," it said.

"While the speed of tightening will depend on the evolution of global economic conditions and the strength of capital inflows, it seems likely that Bank Indonesia will tighten monetary policy further over the medium-term to achieve better balance between domestic and external demand conditions and to ensure sustainable growth," it added.

We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
