Foreign Investors Pull Rp 2.7 Trillion from Indonesian Markets in Late September
Jakarta. Indonesia recorded net foreign capital outflows of Rp 2.71 trillion ($162 million) from its domestic financial markets in the fourth week of September, according to data from Bank Indonesia.
Between 22–25 September 2025, non-resident investors posted net sales of Rp 2.16 trillion in government securities (SBN) and Rp 5.06 trillion in Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI), partly offset by net purchases of Rp 4.51 trillion in the equity market, central bank spokesperson Ramdan Denny Prakoso said on Saturday.
As of 25 September, Indonesia’s five-year credit default swap (CDS) spread rose to 83.18 basis points, compared with 69.59 points on 19 September, reflecting increased risk perception.
Year-to-date, Indonesia has seen net foreign outflows of Rp 51.34 trillion from equities and Rp 128.85 trillion from SRBI, while SBN has recorded net inflows of Rp 36.25 trillion, Bank Indonesia data show.
The rupiah closed at Rp 16,735 per US dollar on 25 September, while the yield on the 10-year SBN climbed to around 6.40 percent. The same day, the US dollar index strengthened to 98.55 and the yield on the US 10-year Treasury rose to 4.17 percent.
On 26 September, the rupiah opened weaker at Rp 16,750 per dollar, with the 10-year SBN yield edging higher to 6.43 percent.
Ramdan said the central bank remains committed to safeguarding stability.
“Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen coordination with the government and relevant authorities while optimizing the policy mix to support Indonesia’s external resilience,” he said.
The latest data highlight the challenges facing Indonesia’s markets as global investors weigh risk premiums, currency movements, and interest rate dynamics at home and abroad.
