Based on data released by BPS-Statistics Indonesia, Indonesia's trade balance recorded a surplus of USD1.27 billion in February 2026, increasing from a surplus of USD0.95 billion in January 2026. Bank Indonesia views the trade surplus positively in terms of further bolstering Indonesia's external resilience. Going forward, Bank Indonesia will continue strengthening policy synergies with the Government and other relevant authorities to further strengthen external resilience and support sustainable national economic growth.
The continued trade surplus was primarily driven by a non-oil and gas trade surplus. The non-oil and gas trade balance in February 2026 recorded a USD2.19 billion, supported by robust non-oil and gas exports amounting to USD21.09 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, as well as manufacturing products, including vehicles and parts and chemical products. In terms of destination countries, exports to China, the United States and India remained the main contributors to Indonesia's exports. Meanwhile, the oil and gas trade deficit narrowed to USD0.92 billion in February 2026, in line with a significant decline in oil and gas imports.
