Domestic Update
• After cutting 150 bps in benchmark policy rate for 6x in 2020, BI will continue its accommodative policy mainly through 1) low interest rates policy; 2) IDR stabilization and 3) liquidity injection. Monetary tightening is likely when the central bank sees inflation start to pick up according to the Bank Indonesia Annual Meeting yesterday (11/24). MNCS Comment: Inflation is likely to pick up in 2022 on the back of : 1) rising oil price along with improvement in mobility and economic activity as well as 2) rising VAT by 1pp to 11% starting in Apr-22. Given the potential rise in domestic inflation and more aggressive monetary policy normalization by the Fed in 2022, we see that BI has room to raise its benchmark policy rate by 50 bps next year.
• Furthermore, the second dose of vaccination rate nationally has reached 43.5% or equivalent to 90.52 million people.
