    THE global slowdown and trade war have created an environment in which "low interest rates for longer" is the new normal, Bank Indonesia governor Perry Warjiyo said.

    The US-China trade war "isn't helping anybody" and only serves as a reminder that "if you prolong the game of thrones, the kingdom will fall apart," Mr Warjiyo told a conference in Jakarta on Tuesday, referring to the medieval fantasy TV series.
