No. 27/101/DKom 

The position of Indonesia's official reserve assets remained high at the end of April 2025, totaling USD 152.5 billion, despite a slight decrease from USD 157.1 billion recorded at the end of March 2025. Such development was influenced, among others, by the government's external debt payments and rupiah stabilization policy as Bank Indonesia's response to increasing global financial market uncertainty. The reserve assets position at the end of April 2025 is equivalent to 6.4 months of imports, or 6.2 months of imports and servicing the goverment's external debt, which is well above the international reserve adequacy standard of around three months of imports. Bank Indonesia considers the current level of reserve assets adequate to support external sector resilience while also buttressing macroeconomic and financial system stability.

Moving forward, Bank Indonesia is of the view that reserve assets are adequate to continue supporting external sector resilience in line with a maintained export outlook, accompanied by a  sustained capital and financial accounts surplus , and positive investor perception concerning the promising national economic outlook and attractive investment returns. Bank Indonesia will also continue strengthening synergy with the Government towards bolstering external resilience, thereby safeguarding economic stability in pursuit of sustainable economic growth.
