FX.co ★ Indonesia’s FX Reserves Slip to $144.9B in May, Easing From April Peak

Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves declined in May 2026, easing back from the previous month’s peak as the central bank continued to navigate external pressures and domestic currency needs.

According to data updated on 8 June 2026, Indonesia’s FX reserves stood at $144.90 billion in May, down from $146.20 billion recorded in April 2026. The pullback follows April’s elevated level and may reflect routine external debt payments, FX market operations, or other liquidity management measures.

While still substantial in absolute terms, the May moderation in reserves will be closely watched by markets for signals on the central bank’s capacity to cushion currency volatility and support external stability in the months ahead.
