Indonésia Balança Comercial

Indonesia's trade surplus declined to USD 4.33 billion in March 2025, down from USD 4.58 billion a year earlier, but still exceeding market expectations of a USD 2.64 billion surplus. Exports unexpectedly grew by 3.16% year-on-year, marking the twelfth consecutive month of expansion, though it was the softest pace since last June, as non-oil and gas export growth eased sharply to 2.56% from a 15.40% surge in February. The export figure easily beat expectations for a 3.4% decline, despite slowing sharply from a marginally revised 13.86% increase in the previous month. Imports rose 5.34% year-on-year, below forecasts of a 6.6% rise, following a 2.3% gain in February. Last year, Indonesia posted a USD 31.04 billion surplus, narrowing from USD 36.89 billion in 2023.
