Indonesia's official reserve assets remained solid at USD146.8 billion at the end of October 2026, relatively stable compared with USD146.3 billion at the end of September 2026. This development was primarily attributable to government foreign loan withdrawals as well as tax and services receipts, amid maturing government external debt repayments and Bank Indonesia's rupiah stabilisation policy, in response to persistently high uncertainty in global financial markets. The reserve assets position at the end of October 2026 was equivalent to 5.3 months of imports, or 5.2 months of imports and servicing the government external debt, which is well above the international adequacy standard of approximately three months of imports. Bank Indonesia considers that the current level of reserve assets is sufficient to bolster external sector resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.
Going forward, Bank Indonesia views that external sector resilience will remain sound, supported by an adequate level of official reserve assets and foreign capital inflows, in line with positive investor perceptions of Indonesia's economic outlook and attractive investment returns. Bank Indonesia will also continue to strengthen synergy with the Government to enhance external resilience, thereby safeguarding economic stability to support sustainable economic growth.
