Indonesia and Peru sealed a trade agreement Monday as their leaders met in Jakarta, with Southeast Asia's biggest economy looking to make inroads into South American markets. The agreement comes after US President Donald Trump recently imposed a tariff rate of 19 percent on imports from Indonesia under a new pact. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said the leaders then witnessed the signing of the trade pact, dubbed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which will deepen ties between the two nations after he visited Lima last year. They agreed to boost cooperation in fields including defense, narcotics, food security, energy, fisheries and mining, he said, without providing details. In 2024 Indonesian exports to Peru were worth $329.4 million while Peru's exports to Indonesia amounted to $149.6 million, according to trade ministry data.Source: https://www.thejakartapost.com/business/2025/08/11/indonesia-peru-strike-trade-agreement-as-leaders-meet.html (ICE GIACARTA)
