Indonesia's Foreign Reserves Increased to USD 145.6 bn in Jun-26

Bank Indonesia reported that Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves increased to USD 145.6 bn at the end of Jun-26 from USD 144.9 bn in the previous month, marking the first monthly increase in 2026. The rise was mainly supported by tax and services receipts despite external debt repayments and BI's rupiah stabilization measures amid heightened global financial market uncertainty. The reserve position was equivalent to 5.5 months of imports or 5.4 months of imports and govt. external debt payments, remaining well above the international adequacy standard of three months of imports.

The expansion was supported by a 14.0% YoY increase in currency in circulation and a 12.7% YoY rise in adjusted commercial banks' deposits at BI.
