JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia's central bank has cut its benchmark interest rate for the second time this year to help economic growth.
The decision to lower the rate by a quarter point to 7 percent was announced Thursday by Bank Indonesia at the end of a two-day meeting of its Board of Governors.
The Bank said the move was consistent with its greater room to ease monetary policy on the back of solid macroeconomic stability, especially with lighter inflationary pressure and less uncertainty in global markets.
The rate was first lowered last month after staying at 7.5 percent since February 2015.
