TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Bank Indonesia (BI) reported improved foreign capital inflows following its recent BI-Rate hike, supported by strong investor appetite for domestic financial instruments.
Senior Deputy Governor Destry Damayanti said inflows strengthened across several rupiah-denominated assets, reflecting renewed confidence in Indonesia’s financial markets.
According to BI, foreign investors booked net inflows into non-resident rupiah securities (SRBI) and government bonds (SBN) on June 10–11, 2026, amounting to Rp 15.11 trillion and Rp 3.91 trillion, respectively. Additional inflows were also recorded in Danantara’s international bond issuance, which attracted Rp 26.9 trillion in its initial offering.
Combined, the three instruments recorded total foreign inflows of Rp 45.92 trillion.
“This development indicates investor confidence in domestic assets,” Destry said in a written statement on Friday, June 12.
BI also noted that the rupiah strengthened to Rp 17,865–Rp 17,875 per US dollar in recent trading, appreciating 0.84 percent from the June 5 closing level of Rp 18,010–Rp 18,020.
Destry said the currency’s performance reflected a positive market response to BI’s policy measures, including the recent BI-Rate increase to 5.50 percent, adjustments to SRBI yield structures, incentives for foreign exchange hedging, expanded repo access to support banking liquidity, and more active rupiah and foreign exchange market operations.
“These measures are also supported by close coordination between Bank Indonesia and the government,” she said.
To strengthen external resilience, BI has also expanded financial cooperation with the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
The agreements cover enhanced financial stability coordination, reinforcement of bilateral currency swap arrangements (BCSA), and broader use of local currencies in cross-border transactions through the expansion of Local Currency Transaction (LCT) schemes.
