BI mengakui penurunan cadangan devisa tidak terlepas dari upaya pemerintah menstabilisasi rupiah dan membayar utang, juga menghadapi tekanan global akibat perlambatan ekonomi dunia dan tingginya inflasi.
The central bank said the government's efforts to stabilize the rupiah and repay debts and global pressure due to economic slowdown and accelerating inflation were responsible for the drop in the foreign exchange reserves.
