Indonesia's Forex Reserve in July 2026 Increased: BI

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta – Strong external sector continues supporting Indonesia’s economy. Bank Indonesia (BI) reported that Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 145.6 billion as of the end of June 2026, up from USD 144.9 billion the previous month.

“The foreign exchange reserves position in June 2026 was primarily influenced by tax and service revenues, amid government external debt payments, and BI’s rupiah exchange rate stabilization policy in response to high uncertainty in global financial markets,” Executive Director of BI’s Communications Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, said in a statement in Jakarta on Tuesday, July 7, as quoted on BI's official website.

Denny explained that these foreign exchange reserves are equivalent to 5.5 months of imports, or to 5.4 months of imports plus government external debt payments.

This figure also exceeds the international adequacy standard, which is generally around three months of imports, and is therefore considered sufficient to support the resilience of the external sector while maintaining stability in the macroeconomic and financial systems.

Going forward, BI remains confident that Indonesia’s external fundamentals will remain sound. “This is supported by an adequate foreign exchange reserve position and foreign capital inflows, in line with investors’ positive perceptions of the national economic outlook and investment returns that remain attractive,” he emphasized.

Denny added that BI will continue to strengthen its collaboration with the government to maintain economic stability. These measures are intended to bolster external resilience while supporting Indonesia’s sustainable economic growth. ***
