The Indonesia Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) rose slightly by 0.94% to 5,328.36 at the close of trading on Wednesday (21/10/2026).
The increase occurred after Bank Indonesia (BI) announced that the BI-Rate benchmark interest rate would be maintained at 5.75% at the Governing Board Meeting (RB) on October 20-21, 2026.
However, BI raised the deposit facility interest rate to 5%, while the lending facility interest rate remained at 6.5%.
"This decision was reinforced by an increase in incentive policies for domestic non-deliverable forward (DNDF) instruments to Bank Indonesia to attract foreign capital inflows and maintain the stability of the rupiah exchange rate, as well as accelerate the deepening of the money and foreign exchange markets," said BI Governor Destry Damayanti at a press conference, reported by Katadata.co.id (21/10/2026).
