Indonesia rupiah 'far too undervalued'

A recent rebound in Indonesia's rupiah currency is due to global factors as well as domestic policy measures, the deputy governor of the central bank told Reuters on Tuesday. Growing expectations that the US Federal Reserves would hold off from raising its interest rates this year have influenced trading levels, Deputy Governor Mirza Adityaswara said.
Bank Indonesia's recent measures, including its intervention in the forward rupiah currency market, also have had a significant impact on foreign exchange supply, Adityaswara added. "The rupiah was too far undervalued from its fundamentals so when it strengthens it must be in line with what we want," he said.
