When reference is made to the Indonesian interest rate this often refers to the BI rate. The BI rate is the base rate (policy rate) which is used by the central bank of Indonesia to shape the monetary policy. The rate is reflected in an increase or decrease of the Interbank Overnight rate (O/N) which is the interbank rate. When the BI rate is changed the interbank rate is following shortly thereafter most of the time. This is also affecting the interest rates which banks apply on products like savings accounts, mortgages and loans.
