  • How does the concept of 'dompet' (wallet) relate to the Neraca Pembayaran?

    -The concept of 'dompet' (wallet) is used to describe Indonesia's foreign reserves. It represents the total value of the reserves, but not all of this money belongs solely to Indonesia, as some of it is controlled by foreign investors or as part of loans and investments.

  • What are the three major types of transactions recorded in the Neraca Pembayaran?

    -The three major types of transactions in the Neraca Pembayaran are: 1) Transaksi Berjalan (current transactions), which include exports, imports, and services; 2) Transaksi Modal (capital transactions), which involve investments and donations; and 3) Transaksi Finansial (financial transactions), which are related to loans, foreign investments, and debt.

  • What role does foreign investment play in Indonesia's balance of payments?

  • How does the value of the Rupiah affect Indonesia's Neraca Pembayaran?
