However, the June 2024 surplus decreased by US$1.06 billion or 30.7% year-on-year (yoy) compared to the surplus in June of the previous year.
The June 2024 trade balance surplus was supported by a surplus in the non-oil and gas sector amounting to US$4.43 billion. The main contributing commodities to this surplus were mineral fuels, animal fats and oils, and iron and steel.
This surplus was offset by a deficit in the oil and gas sector of US$2.04 billion. The contributing commodities to this deficit were oil products and crude oil.
Overall, Indonesia's largest trade surplus in June 2024 came from transactions with India, with a surplus value of US$1.46 billion.
