Indonesia cuts reverse repo rate to 4.5%

Lendings and deposit facility rates also fell by 25bps.

Bank Indonesia (BI) cut its benchmark 7-day reverse repo rate to 4.5%.

According to UOB, the lending and deposit facility rates also fell by 25bps to 5.25% and 3.75% respectively.

This is BI's first rate cut in ten months since October 2016.

Out of 28 analysts polled by Bloomberg, 6 expected the rate to move after BI Governor Agus Martowardojo said earlier this month that BI is not closed to the possibility of further easing.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. 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.
