Based on data released by BPS-Statistics Indonesia, Indonesia recorded a trade surplus of USD0.95 billion in January 2026, following a USD2.51 billion surplus recorded in December 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 further strengthen external resilience in pursuit of sustainable national economic growth.
The continued trade surplus was primarily driven by the continued non-oil and gas trade surplus. The non-oil and gas trade balance in January 2026 recorded a USD3.23 billion surplus as non-oil and gas exports remained solid at USD21.26 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, as well as manufacturing products, including nickel and articles thereof, vehicles and parts, machinery and mechanical appliances, and footwear. 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 exports. On the other hand, the oil and gas trade deficit was recorded at USD2.27 billion in January 2026 in line with lower oil and gas exports amid declining oil and gas imports.
