JAKARTA, May 8 (Reuters) - Indonesia's foreign exchange
(FX) reserves decreased by $1 billion to $144.2 billion in
April, due to the payment of government foreign debt and FX
liquidity needs, the central bank said on Monday.
The reserves level was equal to funding needs for 6.4 months
of imports, above international standards, and a level that Bank
Indonesia saw as adequate to support external resilience, it
said in a statement.
