INDONESIA - CAPITAL MARKETS - Bank Indonesia sells SBI debt

economictimes.indiatimes.com - JAKARTA: Indonesia's central bank sold its nine-month SBI debt on Thursday at a 5.03858 percent rate, lower than 5.22412 percent in last month's auction, absorbing liquidity more than expected.

Bank Indonesia (BI) also sold its nine-month sharia SBI debt at the same rate. It sold 27.29 trillion rupiah ($3.02 billion) of SBIs and 382 billion rupiah of sharia SBIs.

BI kept its benchmark overnight rate at a record low 6 percent on Thursday as anticipated, pausing because it expects recent rate cuts to help to stimulate the domestic economy next year as global growth slows.(source)
