Indonesia’s Foreign Exchange Reserves Rise to $146.5 Billion in August
Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves increased in August, strengthening the country’s external financial buffer.
FX reserves rose to $146.5 billion from $145.3 billion in the previous month, an increase of $1.2 billion.
The higher reserve level gives Bank Indonesia additional capacity to manage volatility in the rupiah and respond to external financial pressures.
The increase also provides a somewhat stronger cushion against global market uncertainty, particularly as shifts in U.S. interest-rate expectations continue to influence capital flows and emerging-market currencies.
