Interest rates reflect the maximum limit on banking set by deposit interest rates in the banking industry

Furthermore, Purbaya said, this decision was taken taking into account three things, namely first, anticipating forward looking for uncertainty which is still high from economic conditions, financial markets, commodity prices, and export performance.

Second, providing space for banks to respond to global liquidity movements so that they can support economic recovery through lending.

Third, the synergy of cross-authorship policies in an effort to attract foreign liquidity such as foreign exchange of export products (DHE).
