Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves reached US$150.7 billion at the end of August 2025, down US$1.3 billion compared to US$152 billion in July 2025. This decrease was due to government foreign debt payments and the rupiah exchange rate stabilization policy implemented by Bank Indonesia in response to global financial market uncertainty.
Despite the decline, foreign exchange reserves remain high, equivalent to financing 6.3 months of imports, or 6.1 months of imports and government foreign debt payments. This amount is also above the international adequacy standard of approximately 3 months of imports.
Bank Indonesia assesses these foreign exchange reserves as adequate to support external sector resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability. Bank Indonesia also views the export outlook as maintained, the capital and financial account balance projected to remain in surplus, and investors' positive perceptions of the domestic economic outlook and attractive investment returns. 1
Thus, Bank Indonesia is optimistic that foreign exchange reserves can continue to support economic stability and sustainable economic growth.
The decline was also triggered by the Rupiah exchange rate stabilization policy implemented by Bank Indonesia in response to persistently high global financial market uncertainty.
