Indonesia Balance of Trade
Since the 1970’s Indonesia has been recording consistent trade surpluses due to robust exports growth. However, from 2012 to 2014 the country started recording trade deficits, as exports shrank due to slowdown in the global economy and fall in commodity prices. In 2015, trade balance swang again to surplus due to almost 20 percent fall in imports. In recent years, the biggest trade deficits were recorded with China, Thailand, Japan, Germany and South Korea. Indonesia records trade surpluses mainly with India, United States, and Malaysia. .

Indonesia's trade surplus notably increased to USD 5.16 billion in November 2022 from USD 3.52 billion in the same month of the previous year, exceeding market expectations of a gain of USD 4.26 billion, as exports rose while imports fell. Shipments grew 5.58 percent from a year earlier to USD 24.12 billion, the 25th straight month of increase but the least since June 2020, amid weakening global demand due to rising inflation, moderating commodity prices, and the impact of a resurgence of COVID cases in some countries, particularly China, Indonesia's top trading partner. Meanwhile, imports unexpectedly declined 1.89 percent to USD 18.96 billion, the first drop in 22 months, as domestic consumption was shaky due to recent natural disasters while the rupiah was relatively in a steady downtrend. During the first eleven months of the year, the trade surplus jumped to USD 50.68 billion from USD 34.42 billion in the corresponding period in 2021.
