Indonesia recorded a trade surplus of USD 38.54 billion from January to November 2025, a sharp rise from USD 9.30 billion in the same period of 2024. According to BPS Deputy Pudji Ismartini, this marks the 67th consecutive monthly surplus, supported by exports reaching USD 256.56 billion (up 5.61 percent year‑on‑year) and imports totaling USD 218.02 billion (up 2.03 percent). The non‑oil and gas sector contributed a substantial USD 56.15 billion surplus, while the oil and gas trade deficit narrowed slightly to USD 17.61 billion. Indonesia posted its largest surpluses with the United States, India, and the Philippines, driven by exports of machinery, apparel, and footwear, while the biggest deficits were recorded with China, Australia, and Brazil, largely due to machinery, electrical equipment, and vehicle imports. In November 2025 alone, Indonesia booked a monthly surplus of USD 2.66 billion, up from USD 2.39 billion in October. Monthly exports stood at USD 22.52 billion, down 6.6 percent from November 2024 due to a sharp drop in mining exports—especially coal—while imports reached USD 19.86 billion, rising 0.46 percent year‑on‑year. Import patterns showed strong growth in capital goods (+17.27 percent), signaling investment activity, while consumer goods and raw material imports contracted. Despite softer commodity performance, Indonesia’s overall trade position remained resilient, reinforcing the country’s broader export strength amid shifting global demand.Source: https://rri.co.id/en/business/2087812/indonesia-posts-trade-surplus-for-67-consecutive-months  (ICE GIACARTA)
