The Bank Indonesia is widely expected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 5.75% when its Governing Council meets later this month.
Economists surveyed by local media outlets argue that maintaining the current stance is the prudent path forward, given the delicate state of the domestic economy.
Further monetary tightening is viewed as a significant risk to credit growth and broader economic expansion.

The consensus among market participants is that the current policy rate provides sufficient support for price stability without stifling lending activity.
This pause in monetary policy aligns with a broader global trend of central banks holding steady after aggressive hiking cycles.
