Indonesia’s Trade Balance Surplus (NPI) increased to US$5.49 billion in August 2025 from US$4.17 billion in July 2025. This improvement was driven by a higher non-oil and gas surplus, which rose to US$7.15 billion in August 2025 from US$5.75 billion in July 2025, supported mainly by animal and vegetable fats, mineral fuels, and iron and steel commodities. Meanwhile, the oil and gas trade balance recorded a wider deficit of US$1.66 billion in August 2025, compared to US$1.58 billion in July
2025, primarily due to higher deficits in crude oil and oil products. The trade balance has maintained a surplus for 64 consecutive months since May 2020. The United States contributed the largest surplus of US$12.20 billion, while the largest deficit came from China, amounting to US$13.09 billion during January to August 2025.
