Perkembangan ini dipengaruhi oleh penerimaan pajak dan jasa, serta penerbitan global bond pemerintah di tengah pembayaran utang luar negeri pemerintah dan kebijakan stabilisasi nilai tukar rupiah

The central bank attributes this development to several factors, including the receipt of tax and service revenues, the issuance of government global bonds, and the servicing of the government's foreign debt. Additionally, ongoing efforts to stabilize the rupiah's exchange rate have also played a role.

Despite the marginal dip, Bank Indonesia reassures the public and stakeholders that the current level of reserves remains robust. The US$146.2 billion is equivalent to financing 5.8 months of imports, or 5.6 months of imports coupled with government foreign debt payments. This level comfortably exceeds the international adequacy standard of approximately 3 months of imports, underscoring the resilience of Indonesia's external sector and the stability of its macroeconomic and financial systems.
