Indonesia's official reserve assets position at the end of May 2026 remained high at USD144.9 billion, despite retreating from USD146.2 billion at the end of April 2026. This development was attributable to the issuance of government global bonds, as well as tax and services receipts, amid the government's external debt repayments and Bank Indonesia's Rupiah stabilization policy in response to persistent uncertainty in the global financial markets and seasonal domestic demand for foreign exchange. The reserve assets position at the end of May 2026 was equivalent to 5.6 months of imports, or 5.5 months of imports and servicing the government external debt, which is well above the international adequacy standard of around three months of imports. Bank Indonesia considers the current level of reserve assets is sufficient to bolster external sector resilience and to preserve macroeconomic and financial system stability.
Going forward, Bank Indonesia views that external sector resilience will remain maintained, supported by an adequate level of official reserve assets and continued foreign capital inflows, in line with positive investor perceptions of Indonesia's economic outlook and attractive investment returns. Bank Indonesia will also continue strengthening synergy with the Government towards bolstering external resilience, thereby safeguarding economic stability to support sustainable economic growth.
