Indonesia's FX Reserves in February 2026 Stand at US$151.9 Billion, Down US$2.7 Billion

Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves (cadangan devisa) at end-February 2026 stood at US$151.9 billion, Bank Indonesia (BI) said. The figure is down about US$2.7 billion from the end of January 2026, which stood at US$154.6 billion.

The development of the reserves was influenced, among others, by tax receipts and services, as well as government external borrowing amid repayments of government external debt and the rupiah’s exchange-rate stabilization policy in response to persistent high uncertainty in global financial markets.

‘The position of the foreign exchange reserves at end-February 2026 is equivalent to financing 6.1 months of imports or 5.9 months of imports and government external debt payments, and is above the international adequacy standard of around 3 months of imports,’ quoted from BI press release, Jakarta, Friday (6 March 2026).

BI assesses that the foreign exchange reserves are able to sustain external sector resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.

Going forward, BI believes external sector resilience remains solid, supported by an adequate foreign exchange reserve position and foreign capital inflows in line with positive investor perception of the national economy’s prospects and investment yields that remain attractive.

‘BI will continue to strengthen its synergy with the Government in reinforcing external resilience to safeguard economic stability to support sustainable economic growth,’ BI said.
