Indonesia’s official reserve assets remained high at USD139.1 billion as
of end-March 2022, despite lower than USD141.4 billion as of
end-February 2022. The decrease of official reserve assets in March 2022
was influenced, amongst others, by the obligation of government’s
external debt payment.
The position of official reserve assets was equivalent to finance 7.2
months of imports or 7.0 months of imports and servicing government’s
external debt, and well above the international adequacy standard of
three months imports. Bank Indonesia considers the official reserve
assets position ample to support the external resilience and maintain
macroeconomic and financial system stability.
Moving forward, Bank Indonesia views that the official reserve assets
remain adequate, supported by the stability and solid domestic economic
outlook, in line with the policy responses to stimulate economic
recovery.
