Indonesia was expected to keep its key interest rate at 4.75 percent, although the governor of its central bank has hinted at a potential cut "if all indicators support it." Last week, he said the bank was "pretty happy" with the inflation rate, which was 3.88 percent in July.

In emerging Europe, Hungary's central bank, which has been in stimulus mode for years, was also expected to leave its base rate unchanged, at a record-low 0.9 percent.

The Czech Republic became the first European Union country to raise rates in five years earlier this month, but Hungary is not expected to move until late next year at the earliest.
