JAKARTA: Indonesia’s easing cycle is set to last long as policymakers in South-East Asia’s biggest economy take steps to deal with a deteriorating global economic landscape, according to Bank Indonesia’s new senior deputy governor Destry Damayanti.

Damayanti, who was sworn in by the country’s Supreme Court chief justice in Jakarta yesterday, said the economy is in need of stimulus amid easing by other central banks as headwinds from an escalating trade war between the US and China persist.
