Breaking News! BI Rate Remains at 4.75% in April 2026

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Bank Indonesia’s Board of Governors has once again decided to maintain the benchmark BI Rate at 4.75% in April 2026. During the Board of Governors’ meeting held on 21-22 April 2026, it was also decided that the deposit facility rate remains at 3.75%, and the lending facility rate at 5.50%. “The Bank Indonesia Board of Governors’ meeting on 21-22 April 2026 has decided to maintain the BI Rate at 4.75%,” said BI Governor Perry Warjiyo during the post-meeting press conference on Wednesday (22/4/2026). A consensus gathered by CNBC Indonesia from 14 institutions shows results aligned with the Board of Governors’ decision. All respondents had projected that BI would maintain the BI Rate at 4.75% in this RDG meeting. In BI’s last RDG in March 2026, BI again decided to hold the BI Rate at 4.75%. This decision marks the sixth time BI has held its benchmark interest rate consecutively. With the BI Rate being maintained again in this April RDG, this step will become the seventh in a row. In its official statement last March, BI emphasised that the decision was aimed at strengthening rupiah exchange rate stability amid deteriorating global conditions due to the war in the Middle East, while also safeguarding the inflation target achievement.
