Indonesia’s Financial Market Sees Rp1.45 Trillion Inflow in Early February, Ongoing Projects Urged to Continue

Several economic reports on Saturday, February 8, 2025, captured the attention of Metrotvnews.com readers. Among the highlights were foreign capital inflows of Rp1.45 trillion into Indonesia’s financial market and a call to ensure that ongoing projects do not halt merely for budget efficiency reasons.

Bank Indonesia (BI) reported that foreign capital continued to flow into the domestic financial market throughout the first week of February 2025.

Based on transaction data from February 3-6, 2025, foreign investors (non-residents) recorded a net buy (capital inflow) of Rp1.45 trillion in Indonesia’s financial market.

The majority of these funds were channeled into Government Securities (SBN), with a total investment of Rp9.14 trillion.

However, in the stock market, foreign investors executed capital outflows amounting to Rp3.29 trillion, while funds withdrawn from Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI) reached Rp4.40 trillion.

"Throughout 2025, based on settlement data as of February 6, non-residents recorded a net sell of Rp2.85 trillion in the stock market, a net buy of Rp10.73 trillion in the SBN market, and a net buy of Rp10.44 trillion in SRBI," said Ramdan Denny Prakoso, Executive Director of BI's Communication Department, in the Rupiah Stability Indicator Update on Saturday (Feb 8, 2025).

Additionally, Indonesia’s investment risk premium, as reflected in the five-year Credit Default Swap (CDS), dropped to 74.98 basis points (bps) as of February 6, 2025, compared to 75.32 bps on January 31, 2025.

The CDS index is an important indicator to assess investment risk in SBN. A higher CDS score signifies greater risk in investing, while a lower score indicates reduced investment risk.

Meanwhile, data from Yahoo Finance showed that the rupiah strengthened to Rp16,270 per USD, rising by 54 points or 0.33% from its previous close of Rp16,329 per USD.

Similarly, based on the Jakarta Interbank Spot Dollar Rate (Jisdor), the rupiah stood at Rp16,325 per USD, gaining 5 points from the previous trading day at Rp16,330 per USD.

"Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen coordination with the government and relevant authorities while optimizing policy mix strategies to support Indonesia’s external economic resilience," emphasized Ramdan Denny Prakoso.
