Monetary Policy
As the monetary authority, Bank Indonesia set and implement monetary policy to achieve and maintain stability in the rupiah. The direction of policy is based on the inflation rate target to be achieved by considering various other macroeconomic targets, both in the short term, medium term and long term.
Implementation of the monetary policy conducted with a set of operational targets, namely primary money (base money), and then observe the development of indicators that provide pressure on prices and the rupiah.
Development indicators are through direct monetary, that is using open market operations, discount rate and the determination of the minimum required reserves for banks.
Pegendalian the monetary approach indirectly this has been done since 1983 with an operational mechanism tailored to the dynamics of the domestic money market.

Open Market Operations
Open Market Operation (OMO) held to affect the rupiah liquidity in the money market, which in turn will affect the level of interest rates. OMO conducted through two ways, namely through the sale of Bank Indonesia Certificates (SBI) and the intervention of Rupiah.
SBI sales made through auction so that the discount rate that truly reflects the money market liquidity conditions. Meanwhile, the rupiah intervention by Bank Indonesia to adjust money market conditions, good liquidity and interest rate.
