Meanwhile imports in July 2016 also decreased to US$ 8.92 bn (down by 26.28% m-o-m). The falling of exports and imports mainly came from reduced working days in July due to the Eid Al-Fitr holiday. Furthermore, the monthly decreased in exports due to the fall in the export of oil & gas, machinery/electrical appliance, jewelry, machinery/mechanical appliance, not-knitted apparel, and ores/slag & ash. The fall in the month-on-month imports mainly due to the decrease in the import of oil & gas, machinery/electrical appliance, machinery/mechanical appliance, plastics & the article there of, iron & steel, and organic chemical. On a yearly basis, exports fell by 17.02% y-o-y in July 2016, while imports also decreased by 11.56% y- o-y. The fell in the year-on-year exports indicates demand for Indonesia's exports in July 2016 was lower than in July The decreased in the year-on-year imports suggests relatively weakening domestic activity in July 2016 than in July We expect Indonesia's exports may increase in August The increase in Indonesia's exports performance was caused by back to normal activities of loading and unloading goods at the port after the Eid Al-Fitr holiday last month. In addition, the increasing exports were also triggered by the rising of commodity prices such as crude oil, CPO, coal, and metal. Furthermore, the increasing Indonesia s exports performance is also caused by the improving in the economy of the countries of Indonesia's major trading partners that also impact the increased demand for goods and services from these countries. We expect Indonesia s exports will increased to US$ billion in August 2016 compared with US$ 9.51 billion in previous month. Meanwhile, we expect Indonesia's import performance will increase in August The rise in the performance of Indonesia's imports was also caused by back to normal activities of loading and unloading goods at the port after the Eid Al-Fitr holiday last month. We expect Indonesia s imports may increase to US$ billion in August 2016 compared with US$ 8.92 billion in the previous month. Consequently, Indonesia s trade balance is expected to surplus US$ 0.45 billion in August 2016, narrowing compare than a surplus US$ 0.60 billion in one month earlier.

3 Analysis Indonesia's exports decrease in July 2016 and they were still below the US$11.00 bn mark. The falling of exports mainly come from reduced working days in July due to the Eid Al-Fitr holiday. Furthermore, this fall was due to the decreasing of oil & gas and non-oil & gas exports. The decreased in Indonesia s non-oil and gas exports in July 2016 mainly stemmed from the fall in Indonesia s non-oil and gas exports to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, Netherland, Italy, China, Japan, the US, India, Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan. The rise in nonoil and gas exports to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, Netherland, Italy, China, Japan, the US, India, Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan were attributable to lower demand for Indonesian goods in those countries due to the weakening economic activities in those countries. The start recovery of global economic activity has also exerted a positive impact on exports of other ASEAN countries. Indonesia s exports show a similar trend compared to that of other ASEAN countries (Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand).This indicates that Indonesian goods have not lost competitiveness to products from other ASEAN countries.

4 All in all, we believe that the economic activities in Indonesia s main trading partners such as the US, India, Japan, and European were improved. Furthermore, this will create increasing demand for Indonesian products in those countries. We expect Indonesia's exports may increase in August The increase in Indonesia's exports performance was caused by back to normal activities of loading and unloading goods at the port after the Eid Al-Fitr holiday last month. In addition, the increasing exports were also triggered by the rising of commodity prices such as crude oil, CPO, coal, and metal. Furthermore, the increasing Indonesia s exports performance is also caused by the improving in the economy of the countries of Indonesia's major trading partners that also impact the increased demand for goods and services from these countries. Meanwhile, we expect Indonesia's import performance will increase in August The rise in the performance of Indonesia's imports was also caused by back to normal activities of loading and unloading goods at the port after the Eid Al-Fitr holiday last month. Against this backdrop, we expect exports to reach US$ bn in August 2016 higher than the US$ 9.51 bn in July Indonesia s imports are expected to rise to US$ bn in August 2016 from US$ 8.92 bn in July Consequently, Indonesia s trade balance is expected to surplus US$ 0.45 billion in August 2016, narrowing compare than a surplus US$ 0.60 billion in July Attachment 2: Indonesia's Trade Performance (Billions US$) 2016 YTD (Jan-Jul) January February March April May June July AugF SepF Export Total Export Oil & Gas Total excl. oil/gas Import Total Import Oil & Gas Total excl. oil/gas Balance Total incl. oil/gas Oil & Gas Total excl. oil/gas Y on Y Growth (percent) Export Total Export Oil & Gas Total excl. oil/gas Import Total Import Oil & Gas Total excl. oil/gas M on M Growth (percent) Export Total Export Oil & Gas Total excl. oil/gas Import Total Import Oil & Gas Total excl. oil/gas
