Bank Indonesia dapat mencegah efek negatif peningkatan cadangan devisa dengan menerapkan kebijakan sterilisasi. Dengan menggunakan metode two stage least square, ditemukan bahwa Bank Indonesia melakukan kebijakan sterilisasi namun tidak secara penuh. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kondisi capital mobility Indonesia yang high degree capital mobility.
