TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian government has issued Government Bonds in Australian Dollar currency, known as Kangaroo Bonds. The total issuance from the inaugural transaction through the Australian Medium-Term Notes (AMTN) program reached AU$800 million or approximately Rp8.5 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp10,630 per AU$).
The inaugural offer of Kangaroo Bond issuance was officially opened on August 7, 2025. The series offered are RIAUD0830 and RIAUD0835 with tenors of 5 and 10 years, respectively. The issuance nominal for each series is AU$500 million and AU$300 million. The yield offered for the 5-year tenor is 4.427 percent, and for the 10-year tenor is 5.380 percent.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said that the inaugural issuance of Kangaroo Bond is a strategic step by the government to diversify the financing of the State Budget. The issuance of these bonds is also to expand the global investor base, as well as to strengthen the economic cooperation between Indonesia and Australia.
The Ministry of Finance claims that this offer has successfully attracted the interest of global investors, including those based in Australia, reaching a total order book of approximately AU$8 billion. "The high interest from global investors, including domestic investors in Australia, reflects investor confidence in the economic stability and fiscal management credibility of Indonesia," Sri stated in an official statement on Friday, August 8, 2025.
According to Sri, the issuance of these bonds is a significant milestone that will strengthen the potential for future investment from Australian investors. The proceeds from the Kangaroo Bond offer will generally be used to finance the 2025 State Budget.
