Executive Director of BI’s Communication Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, said in a statement in Jakarta on Tuesday that this development was partly influenced by the government’s external debt repayments.
Additionally, the foreign exchange reserves in September 2025 were affected by Bank Indonesia’s exchange rate stabilization policy amid continued high global financial market uncertainty.
The reserve position at the end of September 2025 is equivalent to financing 6.2 months of imports, or 6.0 months of imports and government external debt payments. This level remains above the international adequacy standard of approximately 3 months of imports, Ramdan noted.
“Bank Indonesia considers these reserves strong enough to support external sector resilience as well as to maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability,” Ramdan said.
Looking ahead, Bank Indonesia is confident that external sector resilience will remain robust, supported by steady export prospects and a capital and financial account balance expected to continue posting a surplus. This is in line with positive investor perceptions of Indonesia’s economic outlook and attractive investment returns.
“Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen synergy with the Government to bolster external resilience, maintain economic stability, and support sustainable economic growth,” Ramdan added.
