JAKARTA, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves stood at 146.2 billion U.S. dollars at the end of April 2026, down from 148.2 billion dollars in March, the central bank said on Friday.
"The decline was influenced by tax and services payments, as well as the government's global bond issuance amid external debt repayments and efforts to stabilize the rupiah exchange rate," said Ramdan Denny Prakoso, executive director of Bank Indonesia's Communication Department.
He added that the reserves were equivalent to 5.8 months of imports, well above the international adequacy standard, and sufficient to support Indonesia's economic stability and external sector resilience. ■
