Executive Director of the BI Communication Department Tirta Segara said the hike of the reserves was attributed to the earnings from the export of oil and gas and increased foreign investment inflow.
The Indonesian economy will grow 5.3 percent in the second quarter of this year, a slight surge compared to the 5.21 percent in the previous quarter, the BI predicted.
