Indonesia’s trade position deteriorated sharply in May 2026, shifting from a modest surplus to a significant deficit, according to data updated on 1 July 2026.

After recording a trade surplus of $0.09 billion in April 2026, Indonesia’s trade balance fell to a deficit of $1.61 billion in May 2026. The move from positive to negative territory highlights a notable reversal in the country’s external trade dynamics within just one month.

The latest figures will likely draw attention from policymakers and market participants, as the abrupt swing into deficit may have implications for Indonesia’s currency, external financing needs, and broader economic outlook if the trend persists in subsequent months.
