Indonesia’s Foreign Capital Inflows Reach Rp 60.9 T in Q2
Jakarta. Indonesia posted a net foreign capital inflow of Rp 60.9 trillion ($3.37 billion) in the second quarter of 2026, driven by strong demand for government bonds and Bank Indonesia’s rupiah securities, signaling that investor confidence in the country’s economic outlook remains intact despite continued pressure on equities.
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said the government remains focused on maintaining financial sector stability and strengthening market confidence amid global uncertainty.
Data as of June 3 showed foreign investors recorded Rp 14.4 trillion in net inflows into government bonds (SBN) during the second quarter, while Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI) attracted the largest inflows at Rp 70.1 trillion. The stock market, however, continued to experience net outflows of Rp 23.5 trillion.
Purbaya noted that investment trends have improved compared with the first quarter, when both government bonds and equities suffered persistent outflows, leaving SRBI as the only major financial instrument to attract foreign funds.
“In the first quarter, we saw government bonds and equities continue to decline, while only SRBI posted gains. In the second quarter, government bonds have started to recover, equities are still under pressure, and SRBI has recorded even larger inflows,” Purbaya said during the June edition of the APBN KiTa (state budget report) press conference on Friday.
Despite the weakness in equities, Purbaya stressed that overall foreign capital flows remained positive in the second quarter.
“What matters is the net figure. The second quarter is still positive. This answers many of the doubts that have been raised,” he said.
Purbaya reassured that the data reflects continued confidence in Indonesia’s economic fundamentals, particularly as foreign investors continue to accumulate government bonds and SRBI.
“If we look at the data, optimism toward the Indonesian economy is still there. Don’t be swayed by a single headline. The inflows into both SRBI and government bonds remain significant,” he said.
