5 January 2026, 13:34 Indonesia: Imports Rise Less than Expected.
Indonesia’s imports increased 0.46% year-on-year to USD 19.86 billion in November 2025, rebounding from a 1.15% decline in October, smaller than market forecasts of a 3.2% rise. The increase was mainly driven by an 11.19% rise in oil and gas imports, reflecting higher crude oil purchases (76.93%). In contrast, non–oil and gas imports shrank 1.15% to USD 17 billion, reversing a 3.26% increase in October. By country, imports increased from China (10.47%), Taiwan (2.52%), and the EU (21.75%). Conversely, purchases from Japan plunged 25.42%, while those from the US fell 5.94% and those from South Korea slumped 27.34%. By commodity, imports rose for electrical machinery and equipment, and their parts (29.60%). Over January–November 2025, total imports climbed 2.03% year-on-year to USD 218.02 billion.
