In the first week of May 2025, foreign capital inflows into Indonesia’s financial markets totaled IDR 120 billion. Although this was the lowest figure recorded so far this year, it still reflects continued investor confidence and helped support the stability of the rupiah. According to Bank Indonesia’s Head of Communications, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, this three-week streak of net foreign inflows aligns with recent global and domestic economic developments. From May 5–8, non-resident investors posted a net purchase of IDR 0.12 trillion. This included net sales in the stock market and Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI), while net buying in government bonds (SBN) reached IDR 6.88 trillion.

Government bonds remain a favored investment amid a global preference for safe-haven assets. The yield on 10-year SBNs slightly decreased to 6.84% on May 8, then edged up to 6.85% on May 9. Despite limited inflows, the rupiah remained relatively stable, opening at IDR 16,530 per USD on May 9, after closing at IDR 16,490 the day prior. Indonesia’s 5-year credit default swap (CDS) premium also improved, falling to 89.65 basis points from 94.63 a week earlier. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened to 100.64, and U.S. Treasury yields rose to 4.379%. Bank Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to reinforcing policy coordination with the government and financial authorities to strengthen the country's external economic resilience.
