The rupiah, down 3.6% against the dollar this year, has recovered some losses after April's decline. BI's tightening aims at rupiah stability rather than curbing domestic demand. Despite inflation at 3.0% in April, above BI's target range, rising oil, food, and shipping costs suggest that tight policy will continue through the summer.
