Macroeconomy
BI Holds Reference Interest Rate. The Board of Governors Meeting of Bank Indonesia (RDG BI) decided to maintain the benchmark interest rate (7 Days Reverse Repo Rate/BI 7-DRRR) at 3.5% in June 2021. Likewise with interest rates deposit facility and lending facility interest remained at 2.75% and 4.25%, respectively. This policy takes into account global and domestic economic conditions. From a global perspective, the global economic recovery is still continuing, although uncertainty has not subsided. This can be seen from the economic improvement in the United States (US) and China. In addition, a number of countries in Europe have also improved after a surge in Covid-19 cases some time ago. (CNN Indonesia)
