Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa announced plans to issue yuan-denominated global debt securities, known as panda bonds, in June 2026. The move aims to diversify sources of state budget financing and reduce reliance on a single country.

Purbaya said the plan followed a report from Director General of Risk Management and Financing Suminto. He will soon travel to China to discuss the issuance.

Purbaya explained that China has sufficient liquidity and a large financial market. Yields offered range from 2.3 to 2.5 percent and are supported by market confidence in Indonesia’s economic fundamentals.

Indonesia also opened the possibility for China to issue bonds in the domestic market. This understanding emerged during bilateral talks with Chinese Finance Minister Lan Fo’an in April 2026 in Washington, DC.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X feature neutral reports from news outlets on the panda bond plan to diversify financing, reduce dollar reliance, and support rupiah stability with lower interest rates. Skeptical users question borrowing from China amid rupiah weakness and fiscal deficits, suggesting spending cuts instead. Cautious optimism appears in comments praising the diversification intent while noting risks.
