JAKARTA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves rose to $139.4 billion at the end of January, due to the issuance of the government's global bond as well as revenue from tax and services, the central bank said in a statement on Tuesday.


The level of reserves was equal to six months of imports and sufficient to support Indonesia's external, macroeconomic and financial market stability, Bank Indonesia said.
