This was mainly due to a decrease in the statutory reserve requirement (GWM) of around IDR 155 trillion and a monetary expansion of around IDR 680.89 trillion. This loosening of liquidity conditions led to a high ratio of liquid assets to third party funds (LA / DPK) confident of 30.65% in October 2020 and a low average overnight interbank rate of around 3.29% in October 2020. Loosening liquidity and interest rates Low reference rates also contributed to lowering the deposit rates and working capital loans in October 2020, namely from 5.18% and 9.44% in September 2020 to 4.93% and 9.38%.
