• Barclays predicts that BI will likely raise its policy rate by 25bps at its April 24 meeting to support the rupiah, with the possibility of a more significant hike given the currency's rapid decline with the IDR is off 3.82% over the past month. The forecast assumes BI's cautious approach amid concerns about one-off dividend flows affecting the rupiah, signaling potential openness to further increases.
