The Governor also assured the public that inflation would remain low until the end of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bank Indonesia sees no immediate need to raise interest rates further while reiterating its preference for using market intervention to stabilize the rupiah <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZVhHYEawSf\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZVhHYEawSf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bloomberg Asia (@BloombergAsia) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BloombergAsia\/status\/1805136024105865245?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 24, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is further highlighted that that despite the pressure, the current approach by BI is to avoid raising the benchmark interest rate to prevent negative impacts on economic growth. Instead, BI will continue using available monetary tools to stabilise the currency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that, BI maintained its benchmark policy rate and opted to fine-tune other measures to support the Indonesian rupiah as global uncertainties wane.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The strategy executed by Bank Indonesia<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BI had recently sold a substantial volume of SRBI to attract portfolio inflows, complementing currency intervention efforts.&nbsp;Warjiyo&nbsp;reaffirmed that the central bank is prepared to utilise all available tools including potential interest rate hikes to maintain currency stability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related content: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/ecb-rate-cuts-and-us-jobs-data-key-in-deciding-market-trajectory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interest rate tug-of-war for central banks &#8211; Hawkish vs dovish<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in April, BI also executed a surprise rate hike to counter the decline of the Indonesian rupiah, driven by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/us-dollar-regains-strength-ahead-of-key-retail-sales-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">changing expectations regarding rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve<\/a>.
