JAKARTA, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves reached 152.6 billion U.S. dollars at the end of June 2025, slightly up from 152.5 billion U.S. dollars in the previous month, the country's central bank, Bank Indonesia (BI), announced on Monday.
According to Ramdan Denny Prakoso, executive director of BI's Communications Department, the increase was driven by tax and service revenues as well as the issuance of government global bonds. This occurred amid BI's policy to stabilize the rupiah exchange rate in response to persistent uncertainty in global financial markets.
"The foreign exchange reserves position at the end of June 2025 is equivalent to financing 6.4 months of imports, or 6.2 months of imports and government external debt payments. This remains well above the international adequacy standard of around 3 months of imports," he said.
Prakoso noted that the central bank considers the current level of reserves sufficient to support external sector resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.
He added that Bank Indonesia views the reserves position as adequate, supported by steady export performance, a capital and financial account balance expected to remain in surplus, and positive investor sentiment toward Indonesia's economic outlook and investment returns.
"Bank Indonesia will continue to enhance synergy with the government to strengthen external resilience and maintain economic stability in support of sustainable economic growth," he said. ■
