Abstract
There is a trade off in interest rate movements due to capital inflows and the aim of controlling inflation. Capital inflow will reduce money market interest rates as low as possible, followed by lower lending and deposit rates. On the other hand, it is difficult to lower the benchmark interest rate, due to pressure on inflation. The asymmetric movement of lending and deposit interest rates to the benchmark interest rate has caused disturbances to the monetary transmission mechanism. The results of the estimated error-correction model for variable lending rates, found that the long-term pass-through of Indonesian banks was significant, but not perfect on interest rates on working capital loans and investment loans. This study shows that there is an asymmetrical behavior in banking interest rates in Indonesia. The pass-through degree is typical of being slow when there is a decrease in the benchmark interest rate.
