The increase was supported by tax and service revenues and the government’s issuance of global bonds amid the central bank’s efforts to stabilize the rupiah in response to continued global financial uncertainty, executive director of BI’s communication department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, said.
“As of the end of June 2025, the reserves were equivalent to 6.4 months of imports or 6.2 months of imports and government external debt payments—well above the international adequacy standard of around three months of imports,” he informed in an official statement released in Jakarta on Monday.
Bank Indonesia sees the current level of reserves as sufficient to support external sector resilience and to maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.
Looking ahead, the central bank expects foreign exchange reserves to remain adequate to safeguard external stability, supported by strong export performance, a projected capital and financial account surplus, as well as positive investor sentiment toward the domestic economy and attractive investment returns.
“Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen its synergy with the government to reinforce external resilience and maintain economic stability in support of sustainable economic growth,” Prakoso added.
