Indonesia Cites Q2 Bond Inflows to Rebut Selloff Fears as Rupiah and Stocks Slump

Summary
Government bonds and central bank debt securities drew inflows through early June, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said, arguing investors still back Indonesia despite recent market weakness.
Second-quarter equity flows turned negative, but Purbaya said the overall net figure remains positive, pushing back on what he called a “Sell Indonesia” narrative.
Jakarta’s defense comes as the rupiah and local stocks have slumped, forcing officials to use capital-flow data to support confidence in the economy.
The remarks, delivered at a budget briefing in Jakarta, frame debt-market demand as evidence Indonesia’s broader economic track record remains intact.
