Main Takeaways

JAKARTA, Investortrust.id — Indonesia’s official reserve assets reached $152.6 billion at the end of June 2025, rising slightly from $152.5 billion in May, Bank Indonesia announced on Monday.
The increase was driven by tax and service receipts, along with proceeds from the government’s latest global bond issuance. These inflows helped offset pressures from the central bank’s intervention to stabilize the rupiah, which has come under strain amid persistent global market uncertainty.
“The reserve asset position is equivalent to 6.4 months of imports or 6.2 months of imports and government external debt servicing,” said Executive Director of Bank Indonesia’s Communication Department Ramdan Denny Prakoso. “This is well above the international adequacy standard of around three months of imports.”
Bank Indonesia considers the current level sufficient to support the resilience of Indonesia’s external sector while maintaining overall macroeconomic and financial system stability.
Looking ahead, Prakoso emphasized that a strong export performance and sustained capital inflows—backed by positive investor sentiment toward Indonesia’s economic outlook and competitive returns—will underpin external sector resilience.
“Bank Indonesia will continue strengthening its synergy with the Government to bolster external stability, which is vital for maintaining macroeconomic stability and achieving sustainable economic growth,” he said.
