Domestic Update
• Indonesia's inflation rose +4.94% YoY on Jul-22, highest since Oct-15. However, core inflation rose +2.86% YoY. MNCS Comment: Although core inflation remained manageable, the spread between core inflation and 7-day reverse repo fell and was far below the 5-year historical average of 200bps. We view that BI will raise the benchmark interest rate as a pre-emptive measure to anchor inflation.
• Furthermore, the national Covid-19 daily rate had increased by 3,696 active cases (01/08).
