Based on data published by BPS-Statistics Indonesia, Indonesia amassed a trade surplus in October 2025 totalling USD2.39 billion, following a USD4.34 billion surplus recorded in September 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 October 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 October 2025 amassed a USD4.31 billion surplus in line with sustained non-oil and gas export performance, recorded at USD23.34 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 fuels, as well as manufacturing products, including electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof 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 USD1.92 billion in October 2025 due to an increase of oil and gas imports, accompanied by a decrease of oil and gas exports.
