Domestic Update
• Bank Indonesia (BI) will announce September-21 policy rates today. BI is expected to keep interest rates unchanged with BI-7 Day Reverse Repo at 3.50%; Lending Facility at 4.25% and Deposit Facility at 2.75%. MNCS Comment: We agree with the consensus estimate. In order to keep the economy afloat amid a more hawkish tone from the global central bank, maintaining policy rate steady would be the central bank's choice. We believe with the current level of policy rate could anchor inflation expectation and keep rupiah stable in line with its fundamental value.
• Furthermore, there was an addition of 107 new Covid-19 cases in Jakarta yesterday.
