Direktur Perencanaan Strategis dan Humas BI, Budi Mulya di Jakarta, Selasa, mengatakan penurunan kembali BI rate ini karena bank sentral memperkirakan target inflasi tahun 2007 akan terkendali dan perekonomian makro masih pada jalurnya.
The decision to reduce the benchmark rate known as BI Rate was made based on the assumption that the inflation rate in 2007 would be manageable and the macro-economic sector would remain on the track, he said.
