Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Indonesian currency rupiah tended to be stable on Tuesday morning with Bank Indonesia standing guard over its movements.

"Rupiah is still kept in a safe level  hovering between 9,730  to 9,740 per dollar," Samuel Sekuritas' economic Lana Soelistianingsih said here on Tuesday.

The currency traded at the level of 9,735 per US dollar  in inter-bank transactions losing slightly by three points from 9,732 on  Monday's close.

Lana said the Indonesian economy grew 6.02 percent in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period  last year.      
   
"The main growth driver is still the public consumption, which grew 5.17 percent," she said.

She noted, however, the government spending slowed contributing only 0.03 percentage point to the  country's economic growth. (*/DWA)
