"(The next policy easing) is a matter of how much and when,"
Warjiyo told reporters, adding that Bank Indonesia thinks the
Federal Reserve's chance of raising U.S. interest rates later
this year is getting smaller.
Bank Indonesia has made four cuts to its benchmark interest rate
this year, trimming the key rate down to 6.50 percent.
The bank aims to maintain inflation between 3 percent and 5
percent this year. Annual inflation was 3.33 percent in May.
