Bank Indonesia to Announce Monetary Policy

The video discusses the expectation that Bank Indonesia will maintain its key interest rate at 7.5%, a level unchanged since November 2013, to manage inflation and fiscal deficit. Despite controlled inflation, challenges remain due to potential fuel price hikes and external factors like US Fed policy.
