TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Bank Indonesia (BI) recorded Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of November 2025 reached US$150.1 billion or approximately Rp2,498.46 trillion (using the exchange rate of Rp16,646 per US dollar). This figure has increased since the end of October 2025, when it was $149.9 billion.
Executive Director of the Communication Department of Bank Indonesia, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, stated that the increase in foreign exchange reserves was sourced from tax and service revenues, as well as from the government’s withdrawal of foreign loans. He mentioned, “Amid the policy of stabilizing the exchange rate of the rupiah in response to BI facing increased financial market uncertainty globally.” This was conveyed in an official statement on Friday, December 5, 2025.
According to Denny, the foreign exchange reserves position at the end of November 2025 is equivalent to financing for 6.2 months of imports or 6.0 months of imports and foreign government debt payments. The value also exceeds the international sufficiency standard of around 3 months of imports. BI assesses that the foreign exchange reserves are capable of supporting external sector resilience and maintaining macroeconomic stability and the financial system.
The central bank predicts that the resilience of the foreign sector will remain strong in the future. This confidence is based on stable export prospects and the predicted continuous inflow of foreign direct investment.
The anticipated inflow of foreign capital aligns with the positive outlook of global investors toward Indonesia’s economic prospects and the attractive investment returns.
To achieve these goals, Bank Indonesia will continue collaborating with the government to maintain resilience in the external sector. “To maintain economic stability to support sustainable economic growth.”
