JAKARTA, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves stood at 151.9 billion U.S. dollars at the end of February 2026, down from 154.6 billion dollars a month earlier, Bank Indonesia said on Friday.
Ramdan Denny Prakoso, executive director of Bank Indonesia's Communication Department, said in a press release that the decline reflected tax and services revenues as well as government external loan withdrawals, amid government external debt repayments and the central bank's rupiah stabilization measures in response to persistently high global financial market uncertainty.
The reserves were equivalent to 6.1 months of imports, or 5.9 months of imports and government external debt servicing, remaining above the international adequacy standard of around three months of imports.
Bank Indonesia said the reserves were sufficient to support external sector resilience and maintain macroeconomic and financial system stability.
The central bank said it expected the external sector to remain sound, supported by adequate reserves and capital inflows in line with positive investor sentiment toward the domestic economic outlook and attractive investment returns. ■
