According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia's export and import performance weakened in April 2023.

Indonesia's export value in April 2023 reached USD 19.29 billion, down 17.26% compared to March 2023 (month-on-month/mom), and 29.44% lower compared to April of the previous year (year-on-year/yoy).

Indonesia's import value in April 2023 reached USD 15.35 billion. This figure decreased by 25.45% month-on-month (mom) and weakened by 22.32% year-on-year (yoy).

Despite the decline in both export and import values, Indonesia's export value remained higher than its import value until April 2023. Therefore, in April 2023, Indonesia recorded a trade surplus of USD 3.94 billion.

This surplus is approximately 39% higher than the achievement in March 2023, marking the 36th consecutive surplus, as shown in the graph. This surplus was contributed by non-oil and gas commodity trade.

"The surplus obtained from non-oil and gas trade transactions was actually higher, at USD 5.64 billion, but was reduced by a deficit in the oil and gas trade sector of USD 1.70 billion," wrote the BPS in its report.

"During January-April 2023, although the oil and gas sector experienced a deficit of USD 6.01 billion, a surplus still occurred in the non-oil and gas sector of USD 22.06 billion," it continued.
