JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) revealed that Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves at the end of August 2025 remained high at 150.7 billion US dollars, although lower than the position at the end of July 2025 of 152.0 billion US dollars.
Executive Director of the BI Communication Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, said that the decline in foreign exchange reserves in August 2025 was influenced by the payment of government foreign debt and the policy of stabilizing the Rupiah exchange rate in response to Bank Indonesia in dealing with global financial market uncertainty which remained high.
"The position of foreign exchange reserves at the end of August 2025 is equivalent to financing 6.3 months of imports or 6.1 months of imports and payment of government foreign debt, and is above the international adequacy standard of around 3 months of imports," he said in his statement, Monday, September 8.
Denny conveyed that Bank Indonesia assessed that foreign exchange reserves were able to support the resilience of the external sector and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.
