Bank of Indonesia has published Indonesia's official reserve assets position for end-April 2026, showing reserves eased to USD146.2 billion from USD148.2 billion at end-March but remained high. The stock of reserves was equal to 5.8 months of imports, or 5.6 months of imports and servicing of government external debt, staying above the international adequacy standard of around three months of imports. The position reflected tax and services receipts and the issuance of government global bonds, against the impact of government external debt repayments and Bank Indonesia's Rupiah stabilisation operations amid heightened uncertainty in global financial markets. Bank Indonesia said the current reserve level is adequate to support external sector resilience and preserve macroeconomic and financial system stability, and it expects resilience to remain supported by the reserve buffer and continued foreign capital inflows.
