JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia’s foreign exchange reserves increased to $136.4 billion in June, equivalent to 6.6 months worth of imports and up from $135.6 billion a month earlier, the central bank said in a statement on Thursday.
The rise was due to the issuance by the government of global bonds, Bank Indonesia said, adding revenue from tax and services also contributed.
