No. 28/25/DKom
Based on data published by BPS-Statistics Indonesia, Indonesia recorded a trade surplus of USD2.51 billion in December 2025, extending the USD2.66 billion surplus recorded in November 2025. Bank Indonesia views the trade surplus positively in terms of further bolstering Indonesia's external resilience. 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 positive trade balance was primarily maintained due to a persistently solid non-oil and gas trade surplus. The non-oil and gas trade balance in December 2025 recorded a USD4.61 billion surplus as non-oil and gas exports increased to USD25.09 billion. Positive non-oil and gas exports were primarily underpinned by exports of commodities based on natural resources, such as fixed animal/vegetable fats and oils and mineral fuel, as well as manufacturing products, including iron and steel and various chemical products. 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 grew to USD2.09 billion in December 2025 due to an increase in oil and gas imports that exceeded the increase in oil and gas exports.
