Indonesia's foreign reserves edge down to US$145.3 billion
The level still covers 5.5 months of imports, with the decline cushioned by tax and service receipts and a government global bond issue.
Bank Indonesia reported that Indonesia's foreign reserves at the end of July 2026 stood at US$145.3 billion, down slightly by US$0.3 billion from US$145.6 billion at the end of June. Bank Indonesia said the position remained adequate, equivalent to financing 5.5 months of imports or 5.3 months of imports and government external debt payments, above the international standard of around three months of imports. The July movement was supported by tax and service receipts and the government's global bond issuance, amid government external debt payments and Bank Indonesia's steps to stabilize the rupiah as global market uncertainty increased. After falling for five straight months through May, foreign reserves rose in June before easing slightly again in July.
