Indonesia's president will soon nominate a new central bank governor, an official said on Saturday, filling a post which has been vacant for a year and which is expected to go to the acting governor, Darmin Nasution, Reuters reported. Nasution, 61, is seen by the market as something of a dove because of his view that inflation will remain within the central bank's target range of 4-6 percent this year. He says that should allow Bank Indonesia to keep its key interest rate at a record low of 6.5 percent for the rest of 2010, stoking growth in Southeast Asia's biggest economy. Newly appointed Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo, a career banker who succeeded Indrawati this month, has also indicated that interest rates could stay on hold throughout 2011 because of tame inflation. -- SPA
