Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – The Composite Price Index (IHSG) is expected to remain weak on Tuesday as consumers tend to maintain their consumption after rising rates of Interest by the Bank Indonesia (BI) reference of 50 basis points

Juan Oktavianus Harahap badyst Artha Securities said that the attitude of restraint of community consumption triggered by the potential increase in bank loan rate. This was in response to BI's benchmark interest rate policy at the end of last week
