Indonesia’s official reserve assets stood at USD138.0 billion as of
end-January 2021, increased from USD135.9 billion as of end-December
2020. The position of official reserve assets was equivalent to finance
10.5 months of imports or 10.0 months of imports and servicing
government’s external debt, and well above the international adequacy
standard of three months imports. Bank Indonesia considers that the
official reserve assets position was able to support the external sector
resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.
The increase of official reserve assets in January 2021 was
mainly influenced by government’s global bonds issuance and tax
receipts. 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.
