Indonesia recorded a robust trade surplus of US$5.49 billion in August 2025, up from US$4.17 billion in July, reinforcing the country’s external economic resilience, according to Bank Indonesia (BI). The central bank welcomed this development as a sign of strengthening fundamentals and pledged continued policy coordination with the government to support sustainable growth. The surplus was primarily driven by the non-oil and gas sector, which posted a US$7.15 billion surplus, fueled by strong export performance totaling US$23.89 billion for the month. Key contributors to the export surge included natural resource-based commodities like mineral fuels and animal/vegetable fats and oils, as well as manufactured goods such as vehicles and vehicle parts. China, the United States, and India remained Indonesia’s top export destinations in this category. However, the oil and gas sector saw a widening deficit of US$1.66 billion due to rising imports outpacing exports. Despite this, the overall trade balance remained favorable, underscoring Indonesia’s resilience in global trade.Source: https://en.antaranews.com/news/383681/indonesias-trade-surplus-hits-us549b-in-august-boosting-resilience (ICE GIACARTA)
