In a surprise move, Bank Indonesia on Thursday cut its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 5.75 percent, signaling its position to maintain growth in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
The rate reduction — the third in five monthly meetings — comes as inflation continues to slow, giving the central book room to loosen monetary policy.
The central bank had been expected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged amid a bleak outlook stemming from the euro zone debt crisis and a weakening global economy, even as Indonesia’s inflation rate slows.
Economists said that slowing inflation would not provide a case for Bank Indonesia to make a move on monetary policy.
