JAKARTA: Indonesia's central bank kept interest rates unchanged on Thursday, as expected, despite renewed volatility in the rupiah exchange rate as investors speculate over the possibility of an end to U.S. monetary tightening.

Bank Indonesia (BI) left unchanged the benchmark 7-day reverse repurchase rate at 6.00%, as expected by a strong majority of economists polled by Reuters, following October's surprise rate hike. Its two other policy rates were also kept steady.
