Indonesia extended its record of continuous trade surpluses to 68 months as of December 2025, reflecting a resilient export-import performance amid global economic fluctuations. The trade balance recorded a surplus of USD 2.51 billion in December, driven primarily by non-oil and gas exports totaling USD 4.60 billion, supported by key commodities such as animal and vegetable fats and oils, mineral fuels, and iron and steel. Meanwhile, the oil and gas sector posted a deficit of USD 2.09 billion due to high crude oil and refined product imports.

For the full year 2025, Indonesia’s total trade surplus reached USD 41.05 billion, underpinned by strong non-oil and gas exports of USD 269.84 billion, a 7.66% increase from 2024.

Non-oil and gas imports climbed 5.11% to USD 209.09 billion, whereas oil and gas imports declined 9.67% to USD 32.77 billion. These results highlight the robustness of Indonesia’s trade structure, emphasizing the critical role of non-oil and gas exports in sustaining national trade surpluses.
