Indonesia's central bank said it has managed to bring foreign capital back into domestic markets by increasing yields on Bank Indonesia Rupiah Securities (SRBI), The Jakarta Globe reported Monday.
Bank Indonesia raised 12-month, nine-month and six-month SRBI yields to 6.45%, 6.31%, and 6.2%, respectively.
The move came to curb capital outflows amid increasing tensions from the Middle East conflict, Governor Perry Warjiyo reportedly said at a parliamentary hearing with House Commission XI.
SRBI recorded net inflows in January and February, but saw outflows in March due to global pressures and increasing oil prices, the newswire reported citing Perry.
In April, due to the central bank's measures, inflows into SRBI instruments stood at 48.2 trillion rupiah.
"From the beginning of the year until May 8, 2026, total inflows have reached 105.16 trillion rupiah," Perry said, adding that this helped offset the outflows.
