JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) revealed that the position of Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves at the end of September 2025 was recorded at 148.7 billion US dollars, or lower than the position at the end of August 2025 of 150.7 billion US dollars.

Executive Director of the BI Communication Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, said that the decline was influenced, among others, by the payment of government foreign debt and the policy of stabilizing Bank Indonesia's Rupiah exchange rate in dealing with global financial market uncertainty which remained high.

"The position of foreign exchange reserves at the end of September 2025 is equivalent to financing 6.2 months of imports or 6.0 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, Tuesday, October 7.

Denny conveyed that Bank Indonesia assessed that this foreign exchange reserve remains strong in supporting the resilience of the external sector and maintaining macroeconomic and financial system stability.

In the future, Denny said that Bank Indonesia believes that the resilience of the external sector remains strong in line with the prospect of maintaining exports and the balance of capital and financial transactions that are predicted to continue to record a surplus in line with investor positive perceptions of domestic economic prospects and investment returns that remain attractive.

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