IDR: Underperformance amid dovish stance – MUFG
|The MUFG report highlights the expected underperformance of the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) due to a dovish central bank stance and concerns regarding policy independence following recent appointments. The report notes that capital inflows remain scarce, which is a key constraint for the IDR moving forward. The analysis suggests a challenging outlook for IDR in the current environment.
