JAKARTA -- Indonesia's central bank on Tuesday left its seven-day reverse repo rate unchanged at 5.75% for a third consecutive meeting.

"This decision is consistent with the preemptive and forward-looking stance of monetary policy to ensure the continued decline in inflation," Bank Indonesia Gov. Perry Warjiyo told reporters at a briefing.
