Indonesia's Trade Surplus May Remain Under Pressure -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-03 10:25

0225 GMT - Indonesia's trade surplus is expected to remain under pressure, as recent U.S. trade deals could result in higher imports while exports slow amid global uncertainty, UOB economists Enrico Tanuwidjaja and Vincentius Ming Shen say in a note. Indonesia's down-streaming strategy could offer some upside potential by boosting value-added exports, they say. Broader trade cooperation through trade agreements may also help diversify export markets and reduce concentration risks, they add. Indonesia is projected to maintain a trade surplus of around $35 billion in 2026, compared with $41.05 billion last year, UOB adds. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
