During the Bank Indonesia (BI) board of governors meeting on 19-20 June 2019, the central bank again decided to maintain its benchmark interest rate at 6 percent. This means that the BI’s interest rate has remained unchanged for eight consecutive months.Bank Indonesia continued to serve bitter pills to the economy – of course, on the pretext that the decision was necessary to maintain economic stability. In fact, the rupiah exchange rate and inflation has remained relatively stable this year.

The anomaly indicates the existence of crucial problems that must be addressed and resolved structurally and massively, as partial and conventional approaches are no longer adequate. If not, Indonesia will continue to face an endless dilemma.
