Despite global headwinds, the central bank maintained its economic growth forecast of 4.9%–5.7% for 2026.

Indonesia Leaves Rates Unchanged
Bank Indonesia kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.75% for the fifth consecutive meeting in February 2026, in line with market expectations. The latest decision seeks to stabilize the rupiah amid persistent global financial volatility, while also ensuring inflation remains within its 2026–2027 target range and supporting economic growth. The rupiah remains near a record low amid investor concerns over potential downgrades by MSCI Inc. and Moody’s Ratings of the country’s equities and sovereign credit rating. Meanwhile, the annual inflation rate climbed to 3.55% in January 2026, its highest level since May 2023. Looking ahead, Bank Indonesia expects annual inflation in 2026 and 2027 to remain within the target range of 2.5% ±1%.
