JAKARTA - The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that Indonesia's trade balance in April 2025 recorded a surplus of US$0.16 billion, continuing its surplus in March 2025 of US$4.33 billion.
Executive Director of the Communication Department of Bank Indonesia (BI) Ramdan Denny Prakoso views the trade balance surplus as positive to further support the external resilience of the Indonesian economy.
"In the future, Bank Indonesia will continue to strengthen policy synergies with the Government and other authorities to increase external resilience and support sustainable national economic growth," he said in his statement, Tuesday, June 3.
Denny conveyed that the trade balance surplus was mainly sourced from a good non-oil and gas trade balance surplus.
He added that the non-oil and gas trade balance in April 2025 recorded a surplus of USD 1.51 billion, as non-oil and gas exports remained strong at USD 19.57 billion.

According to him, the positive performance of non-oil and gas exports is mainly supported by exports based on natural resources such as precious metals and jewelry/mata as well as exports of manufacturing products such as machinery and electrical equipment as well as their parts.
Meanwhile, based on destination countries, non-oil and gas exports to China, the United States, and India remain the main contributors to Indonesia's exports.
In addition, the oil and gas trade balance deficit recorded a decline to US$1.35 billion in April 2025 in line with a larger decline in oil and gas imports compared to the decline in oil and gas exports.
