Domestic Market Update
• Surprisingly, unlike what we have expected the 10 year Indo GB yield continued to decline yesterday.
• The government bond benchmark yield declined 5 bps to 6.22%, while at the same time rupiah recorded a slightly depreciation against USD to IDR 14,398/USD. • Bank Indonesia (BI) recorded Indonesia M2 grew 8.9% YoY in July-21. The growth decelerated from 11.4% YoY in June-21.
• Factors affecting M2 growth were rising net foreign assets (+4.3% YoY) and limited loan disbursement (+0.3% YoY).
• Although liquidity in economy remained ample, we expect the inflationary impact would still minimum as money velocity dropped during the period of social restriction.

• We foresee the 10 year benchmark yield to move within range of 6.25%- 6.30%.
