Indonesia’s Foreign Reserves Reach $150 Billion in November
Jakarta. Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves reached $150.1 billion at the end of November 2025, slightly higher than $149.9 billion a month earlier, Bank Indonesia (BI) reported on Friday.
Ramdan Denny Prakoso, Executive Director of BI’s Communications Department, said the modest increase was supported by tax and service revenues, along with the government’s external loan withdrawals.
He noted that the growth occurred despite BI’s exchange-rate stabilization measures in response to heightened global financial market uncertainty.
According to BI, the current reserve position is equivalent to financing 6.2 months of imports, or 6 months of imports plus government debt servicing, well above the international adequacy benchmark of approximately 3 months of imports.
The central bank said the reserve level reinforces Indonesia’s external resilience while supporting macroeconomic and financial stability.
Ramdan added that Indonesia’s external sector outlook remains strong, backed by steady export performance and sustained foreign investment inflows. These trends reflect positive investor sentiment toward the domestic economy and attractive investment returns.
“Bank Indonesia will continue strengthening policy coordination with the government to bolster external resilience and maintain overall economic stability in support of sustainable growth,” he said in a statement.
