FX.co ★ Indonesia’s Exports Rebound Sharply in April, Swinging to 21.98% YoY Growth

Indonesia’s export sector staged a strong recovery in April 2026, with year-over-year growth jumping to 21.98%, according to data updated on 2 June 2026. This marks a sharp reversal from March 2026, when exports had contracted by 3.10% on a year-over-year basis.

The figures are based on a comparison of each month’s performance against the same month a year earlier. While March’s reading indicated lingering weakness in Indonesia’s external sector, April’s turnaround suggests a significant improvement in export activity, potentially signaling stronger external demand or improved shipment volumes across key categories.

The abrupt swing from negative to robust positive growth will be closely watched by analysts and policymakers, as sustained export momentum could support Indonesia’s broader economic outlook through the rest of 2026.
