The increase in import demand coupled with a decline in export performance resulted in a trade deficit for Indonesia in April 2018. Ahead of Ramadan and the 2018 Eid al-Fitr holiday, imports increased.

Statistics Indonesia recorded a 11.28% increase in imports last month to US$16.05 billion from the previous month, while exports fell 7.19% to US$14.47 billion. As a result, the trade balance experienced a deficit of US$1.63 billion. This is the third deficit in the first four months of 2018 and the largest since May 2014.

By commodity group (HS), imports of aircraft and parts surged 290.66% to US$238.3 million, followed by food industry waste/residues which increased by 131.56% to US$238.3 million. In terms of value, imports of machinery and mechanical appliances were the largest, reaching US$2.18 billion, followed by electrical machinery and equipment at US$1.83 billion.
