Indonesia’s FX Reserves Rebound to $145.6 Billion in June

Jakarta. Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves rose in June for the first time this year, reversing five consecutive months of declines as stronger tax and services receipts offset government external debt repayments and supported the country’s external resilience.

Bank Indonesia (BI) said on Tuesday that foreign exchange reserves stood at $145.6 billion at the end of June, up from $144.9 billion at the end of May.

“Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves remained well maintained at $145.6 billion at the end of June 2026, slightly higher than the $144.9 billion recorded at the end of May 2026,” BI Executive Director of Communications Ramdan Denny Prakoso said in a statement.

Denny attributed the increase mainly to higher tax and services revenues, despite government external debt repayments, as well as BI’s rupiah stabilization measures in response to elevated uncertainty in global financial markets.

The June reserve level was equivalent to financing 5.5 months of imports, or 5.4 months of imports and government external debt payments, well above the international adequacy standard of around three months of imports.

According to BI, the country’s ample foreign exchange reserves will continue to support external sector resilience while helping maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.

Looking ahead, the central bank expects Indonesia’s external position to remain solid, backed by adequate reserves and sustained capital inflows, supported by positive investor sentiment toward the country’s economic outlook and attractive investment returns.

“Bank Indonesia will continue to strengthen its synergy with the government to reinforce external resilience, safeguard economic stability, and support sustainable economic growth,” Denny said.
