Indonesia's Foreign Reserves Hit $149.9 Billion in Oct 2025

Bank Indonesia (BI) reported that Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves stood at $149.9 billion at the end of October 2025, up from $148.7 billion at the end of September. The figures were released in BI's official statement on 8 November 2025.

The rise was driven by the issuance of government global bonds (sovereign bonds sold internationally) and higher tax and service receipts. In addition, BI has maintained an exchange‑rate stabilization policy to curb foreign‑exchange market volatility, which together lifted the reserve position.

The reserves correspond to about 6.2 months of import financing, well above the international adequacy benchmark of roughly three months. BI judges the level sufficient to support external‑sector resilience, macro‑economic stability, and the financial system. The central bank also reaffirmed its commitment to deepen coordination with the government to sustain sustainable economic growth.
