Jakarta - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa revealed that the government is preparing steps to maintain the stability of the bond market or government debt securities (bond market) amid pressure on the rupiah and the movement of foreign investor funds.
Purbaya made the statement after the handover of funds from the Forest Area Enforcement Task Force at the Attorney General's Office, Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
According to Purbaya, turmoil in the bond market could make investors sell debt securities for fear of experiencing capital loss, which is a loss due to falling bond prices.
"If the bond is not stable, people sell because they are afraid of capital loss," said Purbaya.
Therefore, the government is preparing steps to help strengthen the bond market while supporting Bank Indonesia's efforts to maintain financial market stability.
"We will maintain the stability of the bond market, help the central bank," he said.
Purbaya said that if the bond market returns to stability and strengthens, investors have the opportunity to get capital gains, which is the profit from the increase in bond prices. This condition is considered to be able to hold foreign funds from the domestic market.
Even so, he did not want to explain the details of the steps that the government was preparing.
"I can't say anything," said Purbaya laughing.
He ensured that the government would continue to coordinate with Bank Indonesia to maintain financial market stability.
"We also communicate with the central bank," he said.
