No. 27/26/DKom
Indonesia's Official Reserve Assets position at the end of January 2025 amassed USD156.1 billion, up from USD155.7 billion at the end of December 2024. The increase was influenced, amongst others, by the government's global bond issuance as well as tax and service receipts despite rupiah stabilisation policy amid ongoing global financial market uncertainty. The position of reserves assets is equivalent to 6.7 months of import or 6.5 months of import and servicing goverment's external debt, which is well above the international reserve adequacy standard of around three months of import. 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. A positive export outlook, accompanied by a maintained capital and financial account surplus, in line with positive investor perception concerning the promising national economic outlook and attractive investment returns, will support to preserve external resilience. Bank Indonesia will also continue strengthening synergy with the Government towards bolstering external resilience, thereby safeguarding economic stability in pursuit of sustainable economic growth.
