Based on data published by BPS-Statistics Indonesia, Indonesia amassed a trade surplus in September 2025 totalling USD4.34 billion, following a USD5.49 billion surplus recorded in August 2025. Bank Indonesia views the trade surplus positively in terms of further bolstering external economic resilience in Indonesia. Moving forward, Bank Indonesia will continue strengthening policy synergy with the Government and other relevant authorities to increase external resilience in pursuit of sustainable national economic growth.
The trade surplus recorded in September 2025 was primarily maintained on the back of a persistently solid non-oil and gas trade surplus. The non-oil and gas trade balance in September 2025 amassed a USD5.99 billion surplus in line with maintained non-oil and gas export performance, recorded at USD23.68 billion. Positive non-oil and gas exports were primarily underpinned by exports of commodities based on natural resources, such as precious metals and jewellery/gems, as well as manufacturing products, including iron and steel as well as electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof. Based on destination country, non-oil and gas exports bound for China, the United States and India were still the main contributors to Indonesia's export performance. On the other hand, the oil and gas trade deficit narrowed slightly to USD1.64 billion in September 2025 due to a larger decrease of oil and gas imports than oil and gas exports.
