JAKARTA -- Indonesia's central bank raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 6.25% on Wednesday as it tries to shore up the weak rupiah.
"This interest rate increase is [meant] to strengthen the stability of the rupiah exchange rate from the impact of worsening global risks," Bank Indonesia Gov. Perry Warjiyo told reporters at a news conference on Wednesday.
