JAKARTA, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Indonesia's central bank failed to absorb any cash for a third week in a row from the auctions of 24-day and 63-day reverse repo on Thursday as there were no incoming bids.

It had planned to absorb 2 trillion rupiah ($210.4 million) of excess cash from commercial banks by selling series of government debt, including treasury bills and fixed-rate bonds.

Bank Indonesia held 24.15 trillion rupiah worth of tradeable rupiah government bonds as of October 30, up from 23.36 trillion rupiah at the end of September, finance ministry data showed.
