Bank Indonesia left its BI Rate unchanged at 5.75% while expanding foreign-exchange hedging incentives to support the Indonesian Rupiah, according to Commerzbank analysts Henry Hao and Moses Lim. Governor Destry Damayanti signaled a preference for non-rate tools and incentive-based measures over raising SRBI yields. The central bank is prioritizing currency stability through these expanded hedging incentives rather than rate action.
