According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) report, Indonesia's trade surplus reached $4.34 billion in September 2025, marking a record of 65 consecutive months of surplus since May 2020. This achievement is mainly attributed to the strong performance of non-oil and gas commodities. Non-oil and gas goods contributed a surplus of $5.99 billion, driven primarily by animal and vegetable fats and oils, mineral fuels, and steel products.
Conversely, oil and gas commodities recorded a deficit of $1.64 billion, mainly due to imports of crude oil and petroleum products. From January to September 2025, the cumulative surplus reached $33.48 billion, of which non-oil and gas goods posted a surplus of $47.2 billion, while oil and gas goods recorded a deficit of $13.71 billion. This data reflects the continued optimization of Indonesia's foreign trade structure and steady improvement in export competitiveness.
