Indonesia’s central bank unexpectedly cut its key interest rate for the first time in more than three years, easing ahead of its own guidance and just hours before the Federal Reserve’s expected dovish tilt.

Bank Indonesia lowered the BI-Rate by a quarter-point to 6%, a decision seen by only 10 of 36 analysts in a Bloomberg News Survey, with the rest expecting a hold. Governor Perry Warjiyo signaled last month that BI would wait until the fourth quarter, when Fed cuts are underway.
