Indonesia central bank keeps rates unchanged, markets raise bets on rate cuts

JAKARTA, June 25 (Reuters): Indonesia's central bank left its policy interest rates unchanged this week, as widely expected, extending a pause in its tightening cycle after inflation eased to within its target range for the first time in a year.

For the fifth consecutive meeting, Bank Indonesia (BI) kept its benchmark 7-day reverse repurchase rate steady at 5.75%. Its two other rates were also kept unchanged.
