"There's room to cut the benchmark rate. We haven't cut it now so I prefer to say that this would be an adjustment, normalisation towards normal operation. So it would not be a loosening," said Hartadi A. Sarwono.

He also said that the rupiah's volatility is temporary and Bank Indonesia is ready to enter the market when necessary.
