Bank Indonesia Maintains Benchmark Interest Rate at 5.75%

Bank Indonesia (BI) decided to once again maintain its benchmark interest rate (BI-Rate) at 5.75% during the Board of Governors Meeting (RDG) held on April 22–23, 2025. This decision marks the third consecutive time that BI has held the rate steady, following similar moves in February and March 2025.
 

BI Governor Perry Warjiyo stated during a press conference that the move was aimed at preserving national economic stability amid rising global uncertainties. In addition, BI also maintained the Deposit Facility rate at 5.00% and the Lending Facility rate at 6.50%.
 

The decision aligns with BI’s strategy to control inflation within the target range of 2.5±1% for 2025 and 2026, while also maintaining rupiah exchange rate stability in line with Indonesia’s economic fundamentals.
 

Previously, several economists had predicted that BI would maintain the benchmark rate at 5.75%, considering the ongoing global economic uncertainty, including the impacts of volatility in international trade policies.
 

By keeping the benchmark interest rate unchanged, Bank Indonesia aims to provide greater market certainty while supporting sustainable national economic growth amid ongoing global challenges.
