According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia exported weapons and ammunition worth approximately US$11.48 million throughout 2023.

Exports surged 251.7% year-on-year compared to 2022, setting a new record high.

BPS recorded that in 2023, Indonesia exported weapons and ammunition to 13 countries.

The largest transaction was with Japan, valued at US$4.92 million, equivalent to 42.9% of the total national weapons and ammunition export value.

The next largest export destinations for weapons were the United States (US$1.65 million), Vietnam (US$1.54 million), and Singapore (US$1.10 million).

Meanwhile, weapon exports to other countries were smaller, as shown in the graph.

Despite the increase, Indonesia's weapon export value appears to be relatively small on a global scale.

According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), large global arms companies can record sales worth tens of billions of dollars per year.
