implementation and storage of foreign exchange reserve funds can be carried out in a
transparent and accountable manner. So as to be able to support BI's performance in

CONCLUSION
The results of writing this research can be concluded based on the research results of the
previously discussed discussion, including the following: Strength (Strenght): Based on the results
of the discussion above, which can be a strength, power so that it can support the increase in foreign
exchange reserves in terms of macroeconomics, namely the source of large export capabilities, in
addition to manufacturing investment and also in the circulation of foreign exchange through
foreign tourists coming to Indonesia. Weakness: weaknesses that must be avoided include the value
of foreign debt. Because with the existence and increasing amount of foreign debt, which is
dangerous if there is inflation, then indirectly the debt will also swell seeing that indirectly the
rupiah exchange rate against the dollar is decreasing. Opportunities: Based on the research results
in the discussion chapter, it can be concluded that from employment opportunities through
manufacturing investment and also the presence of foreign tourists who come so that they can
create jobs indirectly and absorb existing unemployment. In addition, it must be able to be careful
in utilizing APBN funds so that they can be used flexibly and more efficiently used. Threat: For
the results of the possible threats that will be posed based on the discussion in the previous chapter,
it can be concluded with several possibilities that can threaten including; 1) inflation and
stagflation. Both are harmful to foreign exchange reserves and threaten economic growth around
the world. If this is left without anticipation and vigilance in dealing with it, it will be able to bring
it to the brink of recession or a continuous crisis without knowing when it will stop. Therefore, it
is necessary to take preventive and precautionary measures so as not to fall into the abyss of
recession as is currently happening. 2) In terms of technology, the current monitoring of foreign
exchange reserves is already running well, it's just that it must be maintained and not changed
regarding transparent and accountable reporting in its use. 3) So that government policies and
regulations that have been regulated in the PPSK Bill are adjusted to what is currently in effect.
Because if the regulation is given to the party group, it will be very impactful and dangerous for
those who can utilize the foreign exchange reserves. So that this must be a guideline for the
government in considering these policies or regulations. the research that has been conducted
agrees with the results of research conducted by rizieq (2006).
