The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) strengthened by 61.51 points or 0.89% to 6,935.301 at the closing of Tuesday's trading, February 7, 2023.
This stock index strengthening is in line with the increase in domestic foreign exchange reserves.
"This IHSG strengthening also coincides with the release of foreign exchange reserve data, which stands at US$139.4 billion, above consensus expectations," said MNC Securities Analyst Herditya Wicaksana, as quoted by Antara, Tuesday (7/2/2023).
Bank Indonesia (BI) recently reported that Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves reached US$139.4 billion at the end of January 2023. This position increased compared to the end of December 2022, which was US$137.2 billion.
Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves at the end of January 2023 were equivalent to 6.1 months of import financing, or six months of import and government foreign debt payments, and above the international adequacy standard of around three months of imports.
According to Erwin Haryono, Executive Director and Head of BI's Communication Department, the increase in foreign exchange reserves in January 2023 was influenced by the issuance of government global bonds and tax and service receipts.
