Bank Indonesia (BI) revealed Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves position at the end of February 2026 at US$151.9 billion, or down from the position at the end of January 2026 at US$154.6 billion.
BI Communication Department Executive Director Ramdan Denny Prakoso conveyed that the development was influenced by the receipt of taxes and services as well as the withdrawal of government foreign loans amid the government's foreign debt payments and the rupiah exchange rate stabilization policy as a response from Bank Indonesia in the face of high uncertainty in the global financial market.
"The reserve position of foreign exchange at the end of February 2026 is equivalent to financing 6.1 months of imports or 5.9 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, March 6.
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 stability and the financial system.
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.
