(Jan 6): Indonesia’s government bonds eked out an inflow in 2025 thanks to foreign net buying in December, as investors overcame earlier concerns about a new finance minister and nationwide unrest. The local bond market recorded US$388 million (RM1.57 billion) in net foreign investor buying last month, the first monthly inflow since August, according to finance ministry data compiled by Bloomberg. That meant last year saw a small net inflow of US$337 million, continuing an annual foreign buying trend for a third year. A weaker dollar in December and benign debt supply attracted foreign investors back to the bonds, he added. The foreign inflows trend might continue this year if the greenback and US Treasury yields move lower but domestic fiscal deficit concerns remain, Yunianto said.
