Jakarta, March 2 -- Indonesia recorded a US$0.95 billion trade surplus in January 2026, extending its surplus streak to 69 consecutive months since May 2020, official data showed on Monday.

Ateng Hartono, deputy for distribution and services statistics at Statistics Indonesia (BPS), said the surplus was largely driven by strong non-oil and gas trade performance, despite a sharp annual rise in imports.

Key contributors to the non-oil and gas surplus were animal and vegetable fats and oils at US$3.10 billion, mineral fuels at US$2.16 billion, and iron and steel at US$1.51 billion.
