Domestic Issue
BI Holds Benchmark Interest Rate at 3.5%. Bank Indonesia (BI) still maintained the benchmark BI 7-Days Reverse Repo Rate (BI 7DRR) at 3.5% or at its lowest level, in the BI Board of Governors Meeting in June 2022. In addition to holding the benchmark interest rate, the central bank also held the deposit facility interest rate is at the level of 2.75% and the lending facility interest rate is at the level of 4.25%. This decision is in line with the need for BI to maintain the stability of the rupiah exchange rate and the inflation rate. (Kontan)
