Foreign Banks Move $640M From Indonesia

Major foreign banks operating in Indonesia have moved an estimated $640 million out of the country since the start of 2024. This financial repatriation signifies a strategic reduction in exposure by these institutions. The decision appears to be a direct response to President Prabowo Subianto's evolving economic agenda, which favors a more state-driven approach.

This outflow suggests growing apprehension among foreign banks regarding the economic direction under the current administration. The trend is ongoing as of the current date, indicating a sustained strategy by these financial entities to manage their investments within the Indonesian market.
