BI Rate Naik Lagi ke 5,75%, Ini Kata Ekonom

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV - The Bank Indonesia Board of Governors meeting decided to raise the BI Rate by another 25 basis points to 5.75 percent. BI stated that the BI rate increase was intended to strengthen the stability of the rupiah exchange rate and stimulate economic growth. The BI rate increase was implemented as a further step to strengthen the stability of the rupiah exchange rate amidst persistently high global uncertainty. Furthermore, the BI rate increase was also implemented to maintain inflation in 2026 and 2027 within the target range of 2.5 plus or minus 1 percent. What is the public's perception of this policy at the grassroots level? Will banks increase interest rates on installments and savings?
