Domestic Update
• Bank Indonesia (BI) has officially raised the statutory reserve requirement ratio for banks to 9% and is estimated to absorb IDR219 tn banking liquidity. MNCS Comment: The increase in Statutory Reserves is part of the normalization policy implemented by BI to absorb excess liquidity in the banking system. Going forward, we view that BI will focus on stabilizing the exchange rate and inflation through intervention policies and an increase in the benchmark interest rate amidst the threat of rising inflation.
• Furthermore, the national Covid-19 daily rate had increased by 4,094 active cases (01/09).
