Bank Indonesia (BI) revealed Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves position at the end of July 2026 at US$145.3 billion, or down compared to the end of June 2026 at US$145.6 billion.

BI Communication Department Executive Director Ramdan Denny Prakoso conveyed that the development of the July 2026 foreign exchange reserve position was influenced mainly by tax and service receipts and government global bond issuances.

In addition, he added that there was a need to pay the government's foreign debt as well as Bank Indonesia's steps in stabilizing the rupiah exchange rate in response to increasing uncertainty in the global financial market.

"The reserve position of foreign exchange at the end of July 2026 is equivalent to financing 5.5 months of imports or 5.3 months of imports and government external debt payments, and is above the international adequacy standard of about 3 months of imports," he said in a statement, Friday, August 7.

Denny said Bank Indonesia assessed that the foreign exchange reserves were able to support the resilience of the external sector, as well as maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.

Looking ahead, Denny said Bank Indonesia believes that the resilience of the external sector remains good supported by an adequate foreign exchange reserve position and foreign capital inflows in line with investors' positive perceptions of the prospects for the national economy and investment returns that remain attractive.

"Bank Indonesia continues to increase synergy with the Government in strengthening external resilience to maintain economic stability to support sustainable economic growth," he explained.
