Maintain the Rupiah, Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves are at risk of being depleted until mid-2025.
Indonesia foreign exchange reserves are predicted to continue to be depleted until the end of the first semester of 2025 as they are used by Bank Indonesia (BI) to intervene in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the exchange rate of the rupiah.
Senior Chief Economist at Samuel Sekuritas Indonesia, Fithra Faisal Hastiadi, explained that with general inflation rising to 1.95 percent in April, combined with the U.S. Federal Reserves decision to maintain high interest rates, BI is expected to maintain the exchange rate of the rupiah without changing its benchmark interest rate.
One way to maintain the stability of the rupiah without changing the benchmark interest rate is by using foreign exchange reserves to intervene in the foreign exchange market.
Foreign exchange operations reflect BIs proactive stance in maintaining exchange rate stability to curb inflation expectations, especially when the risks of imported inflation resurface.
