The Bank Indonesia (BI) Board of Governors' meeting held on January 16-17, 2018, decided to maintain the BI 7-day Reserve Repo Rate (BI7DRR) benchmark interest rate at 6% for the second time. In addition, the central bank also maintained the Deposit Facility rate at 5.25% and the Lending Facility rate at 6.75%.

BI's release stated that this decision is consistent with the government's efforts to reduce the current account deficit to a safe level and maintain the attractiveness of domestic financial assets. The exchange rate showed a strengthening trend until January 2019, influenced by the return of foreign capital inflows due to Indonesia's conducive economic conditions and still attractive investment returns.

Previously, on January 9, 2019, the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) raised the interest rate on rupiah-denominated deposits in commercial banks by 25 basis points to 7%. This decision was a response to the increase in BI's monetary policy benchmark interest rate throughout May-November 2018, which had risen by 150 bps.
