JAKARTA - In the midst of the high global economic uncertainty, foreign capital flows were recorded as leaving or net outflow from the domestic financial market with a value of US$5.26 billion from September 2025 to October 20, 2025.

Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjiyo explained that this condition prompted BI to take intervention steps in foreign exchange markets to maintain the stability of the rupiah exchange rate.

"From September 2025 to October 20, 2025, portfolio investment was recorded by net outflows amounting to 5.26 billion US dollars which required BI to intervene," he said at a press conference, Wednesday, October 22.

Meanwhile, BI Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti added that the release of large amounts of foreign funds also had an impact on the decline in national foreign exchange reserves.

"If we look at the last 2 months because the outflow is so large, it causes us to use our foreign exchange reserves to intervene, including payments for dividends, repatriation and also for loans," he explained.

For information, the position of Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves at the end of September 2025 was recorded at USD 148.7 billion, down from USD 150.7 billion in August 2025.
