Southeast Sulawesi, Wednesday (July 29, 2026). ANTARA FOTO/Andry Denisah/hma Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia recorded a

trade surplus of US$3.58 billion in the first half of 2026, driven by strong manufacturing exports despite a monthly

deficit recorded in June, the country's official statistics agency announced Monday. "Throughout January to

June 2026, Indonesia's trade balance in goods posted a US$3.58 billion surplus," said Ateng Hartono, Deputy for

Distribution and Service Statistics at Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The half-year surplus was buoyed by a robust US$19.35

billion surplus in non-oil and gas commodities, which helped offset a US$15.77 billion deficit in the oil and gas

sector. Total exports reached US$140.81 billion during the January–June period, up 4.13 percent year-on-year. The

manufacturing industry served as the main engine of growth, contributing 6.18 percentage points to overall export

expansion. Meanwhile, total imports for the first six months rose 18.69 percent year-on-year to approximately US$137.24

billion. Despite the positive cumulative numbers for the first half of the year, Indonesia logged a US$450 million trade

deficit in June 2026, as monthly exports of US$25.46 billion were outweighed by US$25.91 billion in imports.Translator:
