what happened
The Indonesian rupiah is still moving within manageable limits, an official at the country's central bank said on Friday, according to Reuters. The comment follows a sharp warning last week from index provider MSCI, which said it could reclassify Indonesian stocks as standalone.
Erwin Hutapea, head of monetary management at Bank Indonesia, said the bank would step in if needed to keep supply and demand balanced in the foreign exchange market.
why it matters
A demotion to standalone status in MSCI indexes could prompt foreign investors to pull money out of Indonesian equities, so both the currency and stock markets are under watch. The central bank's readiness to act in FX markets lowers the risk of sharp swings in the rupiah.
