Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Indonesian currency rupiah gained against the US dollar in inter bank transactions on Friday morning on expectation that the country's inflation would go down the rest of the year.

"The rupiah gained more value on expectation that the country's inflation would decline in the coming months," money market observer Ruly Nova of  Bank Himpunan Saudara said here on Friday.

The currency traded at the level of 9,700 to the dollar strengthening from 9,711 earlier.

The expectation came after Bank Indonesia decided to maintain its benchmark interest rate (BI Rate) at 5.75 percent, Ruly said on Friday. (*/DWA)
