JAKARTA: Indonesia's central bank kept its key interest rate unchanged on Thursday, as expected, as it aims to maintain financial stability following the much-anticipated rate hike by US Federal Reserve.
Bank Indonesia (BI) held the seven-day reverse repurchase rate at 4.25% for a third straight month.
The deposit facility and lending facility rate were also kept unchanged, at 3.50% and 5.00% respectively.
Thursday's rate decision "is consistent with efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability and is sufficient to support domestic economic recovery," BI said.
All 21 analysts in a Reuters poll had predicted Thursday's rate hold.
