Indonesia fiscal strain and bond market decline

Entities: Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) · Indonesia · Indonesian Ministry of Finance · State Savings Fund (SAL) · Firmansyah

Overview

In early 2026, Indonesia’s corporate bond market experienced a slowdown, with issuances falling as investors sought alternative opportunities. Shortly thereafter, a fiscal report highlighted that the State Savings Fund (SAL) had contracted by about 4.2% in 2025. The fund’s depletion was driven primarily by a sharp increase in its use to finance the 2025 budget deficit, with financing receipts rising 65% year‑on‑year. Although higher Year‑End Surplus Financing and lower accounting corrections provided some offset, the overall reduction underscores growing reliance on SAL to bridge fiscal gaps and raises concerns about the sustainability of Indonesia’s public finances alongside a weaker bond issuance environment.
