Indonesia’s trade performance remained strong in January 2026 with a reported trade surplus of USD 954 million, extending the nation’s positive trade balance streak to 69 consecutive months. Export growth was driven mainly by non-oil and gas products, which totaled USD 21.26 billion and climbed 4.38% year-on-year, while total exports reached USD 22.16 billion, supported by steady global demand. The non-oil and gas sector contributed a significant surplus of USD 3.22 billion, highlighting the resilience of Indonesia’s diversified export base despite rising imports.

Meanwhile, total imports rose to USD 21.20 billion, up 18.21% year-on-year, influenced by increased demand in both oil and gas as well as non-oil and gas goods. The oil and gas sector reflected a deficit of USD 2.27 billion, yet the overall balance remained positive due to robust trade in other sectors. While this January result is the lowest in nine months, it continues to demonstrate Indonesia’s broad trade strength and sustained export performance.
