Foreign Investors Pour Rp 6.4 Trillion into Indonesian Markets in Early October
Jakarta. Bank Indonesia (BI) reported that foreign investors injected Rp 6.43 trillion ($389 million) into the country’s financial markets between October 6 and 9, with most inflows channeled into government bonds (SBN).
According to Ramdan Denny Prakoso, head of BI’s Communication Department, foreign purchases of SBN reached Rp 5.14 trillion, while inflows into the stock market totaled Rp 2.48 trillion. However, BI also recorded Rp 1.19 trillion in net outflows from Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI) over the same period.
“Based on transactions from October 6–9, nonresidents recorded a net buy of Rp 6.43 trillion, consisting of Rp 2.48 trillion in equities and Rp 5.14 trillion in government bonds, while posting a net sell of Rp 1.19 trillion in SRBI,” Ramdan said in a statement.
From January 1 to October 9, cumulative foreign activity showed a net sell of Rp 53.45 trillion in the stock market and Rp 132 trillion in SRBI, partially offset by a net buy of Rp 26.46 trillion in government bonds.
In the bond market, Indonesia’s 10-year SBN yield eased to 6.1 percent on Thursday, while the US 10-year Treasury yield rose slightly to 4.138 percent, reflecting ongoing global shifts in investor sentiment amid interest rate uncertainty.
The data suggests a moderate return of foreign confidence in Indonesia’s debt and equity markets, even as global investors remain cautious over US monetary policy and regional currency volatility.
