In January 2025, Indonesia recorded a trade surplus for the 57th consecutive month, setting a new record after 56 consecutive months of surplus the previous month. The trade surplus is due to export values exceeding import values. In January 2025, Indonesia's export value was US$21.45 billion, while imports stood at US$18.0 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of approximately US$2.45 billion. The Acting Head of the Central Bureau of Statistics stated that the goods trade surplus in January 2025 was US$3.45 billion, an increase of US$1.21 billion month-on-month, marking 57 consecutive months of surplus since May 2020. The January trade surplus was supported by non-oil commodities, with major contributions from mineral fuels, animal and vegetable fats and oils, and iron and steel. Meanwhile, the trade deficit for oil commodities was US$1.43 billion, mainly caused by crude oil and petroleum products.
