JAKARTA, March 16 (Reuters) - Indonesia's central bank
held interest rates unchanged on Thursday and stuck by its
message that previous hikes were sufficient to steer inflation
back to within target later this year.
Bank Indonesia (BI) kept its benchmark 7-day reverse
repurchase rate at 5.75%, where it has been since
January, as predicted by all 30 economists polled by Reuters.
BI's other main policy rates for overnight deposit and lending were also kept steady at
5.00% and 6.50%, respectively.
