        "summary": "Bank Indonesia reported that the country's foreign exchange reserves stood at US$148.2 billion at the end of March 2026, down from US$151.9 billion in February, primarily due to government global bond issuances, tax and service receipts, foreign debt payments, and policies to stabilise the rupiah amid rising global financial uncertainties. This level of reserves is equivalent to financing 6.0 months of imports or 5.8 months of imports and government foreign debt payments, exceeding the international adequacy standard of three months. Bank Indonesia views these reserves as sufficient to bolster external sector resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial stability, with ongoing synergies with the government to support sustainable economic growth.",
