TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bank Indonesia (BI) recorded the position of the foreign exchange reserves at the end of December 2025 at US$156.5 billion. This position increased compared to the end of November, which was recorded at US$150.1 billion.
"The increase in the foreign exchange reserves position mainly came from tax and service revenues, the issuance of global government sukuk, and government loan withdrawals," said BI Executive Director of the Communication Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, in a press release on Thursday, January 8, 2026.
The position of foreign exchange reserves in December is equivalent to financing 6.4 months of imports or 6.3 months of imports and government external debt payments.
Bank Indonesia believes that foreign exchange reserves can bolster the resilience of the external sector, maintain macroeconomic stability, and support the financial system. Denny stated that BI believes the external sector's resilience remains strong.
Denny explained that this is supported by adequate foreign exchange reserves and the projected continuation of foreign capital inflows. "In line with the positive investor perception of the national economic prospects and attractive investment returns," he said.
Throughout 2025, BI recorded foreign capital outflows from the domestic financial market totaling Rp125.1 trillion. This amount consists of a net sale of Rp17 trillion in the stock market, a net sale of Rp110.11 trillion in the Indonesian Rupiah Securities (SRBI), and a net purchase of Rp2.01 trillion in the Government Securities (SBN) market.
