Indonesia’s Trade Minister Budi Santoso forecasts a return to monthly trade surpluses, citing stabilizing global oil prices as a key factor. The country has faced recent trade deficits largely attributed to fluctuations and increases in oil costs. Santoso believes that as oil prices level off, Indonesia’s export revenue will strengthen, positively impacting the trade balance. He highlighted the importance of maintaining export momentum and diversifying export markets to secure a sustainable surplus. The government is actively monitoring global economic conditions and implementing policies to support export-oriented industries. This optimistic outlook suggests a potential boost for Indonesia’s economic performance in the coming months. Improved trade figures could also strengthen the Rupiah and attract foreign investment.
