BI: Rp 45.92 Trillion in Foreign Capital Flows into Indonesia
Bank Indonesia (BI) Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti stated that foreign capital inflows have shown positive development following the BI-Rate increase. She noted this development is supported by the attractiveness of domestic financial instruments.
BI recorded an increase in inflows from non-resident transactions in Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI) and Government Securities (SBN) on 10 and 11 June 2026, amounting to Rp 15.11 trillion and Rp 3.91 trillion respectively. Foreign capital also entered through Danantara’s international bonds, with the initial sale reaching Rp 26.9 trillion.
Across these three instruments, total foreign capital inflows reached Rp 45.92 trillion. “Thus, this development demonstrates investor confidence in domestic assets,” Destry said in a written statement on Friday, 12 June 2026.
BI also noted the rupiah exchange rate closed at Rp 17,865–Rp 17,875 per US dollar in today’s trading, strengthening by 0.84 percent compared to the 5 June 2026 close of Rp 18,010–Rp 18,020 per US dollar. According to Destry, the rupiah’s appreciation reflects the market’s positive response to the central bank’s policies.
Destry explained these policies include raising the BI-Rate to 5.50 percent, strengthening the interest rate structure of Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI), providing hedging swap incentives for foreign investors, opening repo access to support banking liquidity, and increasing the intensity of Rupiah and foreign exchange monetary operations. “These measures are also supported by close synergy between Bank Indonesia and the government,” she said.
To strengthen external resilience, BI is establishing financial cooperation with the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). Three agreements were reached: synergising to strengthen the financial resilience of each country as well as regional financial stability, reinforcing the Bilateral Currency Swap Agreement (BCSA), and strengthening the commitment to use local currencies in bilateral transactions through the expansion of Local Currency Transactions (LCT).
