JAKARTA, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's foreign debt rose 6.1 percent year-on-year to 433.3 billion U.S. dollars in the second quarter of 2025, Bank Indonesia announced on Friday.
"This development was influenced by private external debt, which continued its growth contraction from the previous quarter," said Ramdan Denny Prakoso, executive director of Bank Indonesia's Communication Department.
Government foreign debt reached 210.1 billion dollars, up 10.0 percent, mainly driven by foreign capital inflows into domestic government securities.
Meanwhile, private foreign debt stood at 194.9 billion dollars, contracting 0.7 percent, influenced by a decline in loans to non-financial corporations.
The ratio of external debt to gross domestic product was recorded at 30.5 percent. ■
