Indonesia Trade Balance (TB) problem is, the country is selling (exporting) relatively cheap goods and purchasing (importing) relatively expensive goods. On YTD basis (Jan - Jul), 2019 cumulative TB figures (-$1.8b) have improved significantly compared to 2018 cumulative TB figures (-$3.2b). Indonesia exports volume is approx. 4x larger compared to its imports volume but the export price per ton is one fourth of its import price per ton. The country needs to sell more valued added products rather than selling raw goods and should not highly dependent on its commodities exports but rather focus on manufacturing as the country have a huge population. The FDI at least have entered more into tertiary sector which is more capital incentive sector compared to primary and secondary sector which is more labor incentive sector. Yet, the IDR currency volatility seems benign in 2019 compared to 2018.
