TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bank Indonesia (BI) reported that Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves stood at US$ 151.9 billion at the end of February 2026, down from US$ 154.6 billion at the end of January, according to a statement released on Friday, March 6.
“Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves position at the end of February 2026 remains high at US$ 151.9 billion,” said Ramdan Denny Prakoso, Executive Director of BI’s Communication Department.
The decrease in reserves reflects several factors, including tax and service revenues as well as government withdrawals of foreign loans, amid ongoing foreign debt repayments and BI’s measures to stabilize the exchange rate amid persistent global financial market uncertainties.
Bank Indonesia noted that the current reserves are sufficient to cover 6.1 months of imports or 5.9 months of imports plus government foreign debt obligations, well above the international adequacy standard of approximately three months of imports.
“The current level of foreign exchange reserves is adequate to support external sector resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability,” Ramdan added.
BI assessed that Indonesia’s external sector remains resilient, backed by strong reserves and continued inflows of foreign capital. Positive investor sentiment toward Indonesia’s economic prospects and attractive investment returns further strengthens this outlook.
“Bank Indonesia will continue to enhance synergy with the government to reinforce external resilience and maintain economic stability in support of sustainable growth,” Ramdan said.
