Indonesia's official reserve assets position at the end of April 2026 remained high at USD146.2 billion, despite retreating from USD148.2 billion at the end of March 2026. Such development was attributable to tax and services receipts, as well as the issuance of government global bonds, amidst the government's external debt repayments and Bank Indonesia's Rupiah stabilization policy in response to heightened uncertainty in the global financial markets. The reserve assets position at the end of April 2026 was equivalent to 5.8 months of imports, or 5.6 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 adequate to support external sector resilience and 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.
