Bank Indonesia (BI) held its benchmark interest rate steady at 4.75% on Dec. 17, 2025, marking its third consecutive meeting without change. The central bank cited ongoing rupiah pressure and global instability, with Governor Perry Warjiyo emphasizing the need to assess prior rate cuts. BI sees 2026 growth at 4.9%-5.7% and retains room to ease if inflation stays in check. It is using liquidity tools and adjusting reserve requirements to support credit flow, while also considering Countering the Financing of Terrorism in its monetary strategy. Efforts to stabilize the rupiah could indirectly affect liquidity and crypto markets as policy tools evolve.
