Exports from Indonesia increased 5.78% yoy to USD 24.96 billion in August 2025, easing from a 9.86% rise in July but still surpassing forecasts of a 5% increase. This marked the slowest export growth since April, partly due to the impact of new US tariffs, with shipments to the US rising by just 2.96%, down sharply from a 38.8% jump in July. Under an agreement reached in July, Indonesia agreed to a reciprocal tariff rate of 19%. Non-oil and gas exports climbed 6.68% to USD 23.89 billion, supported by notable growth in sales to China (12.19%) and India (8.0%). Among major commodities, exports increased primarily in animal/vegetable fats and oils (51.07%) and iron & steel (9.87%). In contrast, exports of mineral fuels—the largest component of non-oil and gas exports—fell by 13.54%. Meanwhile, oil and gas exports declined by 10.88%, weighed down by oil products (-13.10%) and natural gas (-15.18%). For the 1st eight months of 2025, total exports rose 7.72% yoy to USD 185.13 billion.
