The central bank said that the slowdown in external debt growth was partly caused by slowing growth in public sector external debt and a contraction in private sector external debt.
If detailed, the growth of government external debt is slowing down.It was recorded that government external debt was US$210.1 billion per third quarter or grew 2.9 percent (yoy).This figure is lower than the rate of 10 percent (yoy) in the second quarter of 2025.
Ramdan explained that government external debt was used to support the health services sector and social activities (23.1 percent);government administration, defense and mandatory social security (20.7 percent), educational services (17 percent);construction (10.1 percent), transportation and warehousing (8.2 percent), and financial services and insurance (7.5 percent).
Meanwhile, private external debt was recorded at US$191.3 billion in the third quarter of 2025. This value was lower than the position in the second quarter of 2025, US$193.9 billion.
On an annual basis, private external debt continued its growth contraction from the contraction in the previous quarter of 0.2 percent (yoy) to 1.9 percent (yoy).
This development is influenced by the external debt of financial institutions (
financial corporations
) which contracted by 3.0 percent (yoy) and non-financial institution companies (
nonfinancial corporations
) which contracted by 1.7 percent (yoy).
“Based on the economic sector, the largest private ULN comes from the processing industry; financial services and insurance; electricity and gas procurement; and mining & quarrying, with a share of around 81 percent of the total private ULN,” explained Ramdan.
“This development was mainly influenced by the contraction in the growth of foreign capital inflows in domestic Government Securities (SBN) in line with global financial market uncertainty which is still high,” explained Ramdan.
Furthermore, the central bank said that Indonesia’s external debt ratio to gross domestic product (GDP) would still fall from 30.4 percent to 29.5 percent in the third quarter of 2025.
“Indonesia’s external debt structure remains healthy, supported by the application of the precautionary principle in its management,” said Ramdan.
