2022 Fantastic! The Largest RI Coal Production in History​

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Indonesian coal production until the end of 2022 is recorded to have reached or even exceeded the target set by the government.




Based on data from Minerba One Data Indonesia (MODI) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Friday (30/12/2022), Indonesia's coal production is recorded to have reached 671.75 million tons or exceeds this year's target of 663 million tons.

"The 2022 production plan is 663 million tons. The realization of production is 671.75 million tons or 101.32% of the plan," wrote MODI data, quoted on Friday (30/12/2022).

If you look at the production data throughout history, it turns out that RI's coal production in 2022 has reached the highest record in history.

Coal production in 2022 has exceeded the previous record for the highest coal production that occurred in 2019. In 2019, Indonesia's coal production was recorded at 616.2 million tons. Then below that happened in 2021 where RI's coal production was recorded at 614 million tons.

Based on data from the BP Statistical Review 2022, coal production in 1981 was observed to be very minimal at around 0.4 million tons per year, then increased to 10.7 million tons in 1990 and only broke the 100 million tons mark in 2002.

In 2002 Indonesia's coal production reached 103.3 million tons, then increased to 216.9 million tons in 2007, and in 2011 it increased to 353.3 million tons.

Since 2013, Indonesia's coal production has continued to soar beyond 400 million tons per year. Then in 2018 it was finally able to reach 557.8 million tons, and in 2019 it reached a record high at that time of 616.2 million tons.

However, in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic began to hit the world, Indonesia's coal production also fell to 563.7 million tons and in 2021 it rose again to 614 million tons.

Although 2022 is not completely over, coal production until December 30, 2022 has been observed to reach an all-time high of 671.75 million tons.

This amount of production data is even still being updated and could potentially increase.

Indonesia’s export value expected to grow nearly 13% in 2023​

Monday, January 16, 2023

Jakarta (VNA) – The Indonesian government has announced that it expects the value of exports to grow by 12.8% in 2023, much lower than the growth of 29.8% in 2022, according to Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto.

Speaking after the recent Government meeting on the country’s exports in 2022 and targets for 2023, the minister said that this year, export growth will slow down compared to last year.
Similarly, imports are projected to increase by 14.9% in 2023 after growing by 29.4% in 2022.
The minister explained that the slowdown cannot be separated from observations of the global economy's development which has been projected to decline.

According to him, Indonesia’s economy has been deemed resilient because the nation’s dependence on exports is relatively low, contributing less than 50%.

Export's contribution to Indonesia's economic growth is 45%, slightly lower than that of Japan with 47%, but higher than that of Brazil (40%), China (39%), and the US (28%).

Indonesia's trade growth is also forecast to slow down, to just about 1% in 2023 while last year, its growth reached 3.5%.

According to the minister, in 2022, Indonesia's export value has increased significantly to 268 billion USD thanks to three main commodities including iron and steel, fossil energy, and crude palm oil (CPO), which contributed largely to the trade surplus./.

Additionally, imports from Cambodia, which is one of the top 10 suppliers to the US, registered a growth of 28.46 per cent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In the non-apparel category, among the top ten suppliers, imports from Cambodia soared by 48.55 per cent year-on-year. Imports from Vietnam and Italy too climbed by 31.43 per cent and 14.16 per cent, respectively. On the other hand, imports from some countries including China, India, Turkiye and Canada slipped.

In 2020, the US textile and apparel imports had decreased sharply to $89.596 billion compared to imports of $111.033 billion in 2019, mainly on account of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. But imports rebounded again in 2021 to reach $113.938 billion, thus surpassing the pre-pandemic level.

In January 2023, Indonesia oil import jumped around 30 %, I would suggest this was an opportunistic import made due to seeing lower oil price during that month. Less oil import will likely happening this month in February, so I expect this month Indonesia could post more than 4 billion USD trade surplus. Lets wait in March 15 to see the number whether my projection is true or not

POLL-Indonesia's Feb trade surplus seen shrinking as imports rise for Ramadan​

By Reuters Staff
2 MIN READ

*​

Click here for poll data


JAKARTA, March 14 (Reuters) - Indonesia’s trade surplus likely fell further last month to $3.27 billion as imports rose ahead of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, when consumption typically peaks, a Reuters poll showed on Tuesday.

Southeast Asia’s largest economy has been recording trade surpluses every month since May 2020, but they have narrowed in in recent months due to moderating commodity prices. January’s surplus was $3.87 billion.

Indonesia is the world’s biggest exporter of thermal coal and palm oil. It is also a top supplier of other commodities, like tin, copper, rubber and nickel products.

Export growth in February was seen slowing further to 5% on a yearly basis, compared with the previous month’s rate of 16.37%, according to a median forecast of 17 economists.


Meanwhile, February import growth was seen jumping to 9.74% from 1.27% in January.

Ramadan in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, will start next week.

Faisal Rachman, an economist with Bank Mandiri, said rising imports reflected companies’ preparations for Ramadan and post-pandemic recovery of manufacturing activities.

Mandiri predicted Indonesia might post narrower monthly trade surpluses going forward due to the decline in commodity prices, which could swing its current account to a deficit of around 1.1% of GDP this year, compared with a 1% surplus in 2022.

www.reuters.com

• Indonesia: Trade data for February will be reported today. We are expecting recent trends in trade data to hold with exports possibly expanding by close to 5%YoY and the overall trade balance remaining in surplus. However given moderating prices for Indonesia's export commodities complicated by softer global demand, we should see the trade surplus come in at around $3.3bn, much lower than the record highs of $7.5bn. A narrowing trade surplus points to less support for the IDR and this could mean that the currency may face depreciation pressure in the near term.

Slowing trade momentum to keep FX pressured​

Indonesia was one of the few countries that benefited from the commodity price boom in 2022, translating to record trade surpluses. This resulted in the current account also reverting to positive territory, which in turn provided robust support to the Indonesian rupiah (IDR). The relative stability of the IDR helped limit price pressures early in 2022 which in turn allowed the central bank to postpone rate hikes to the latter half of 2022. With commodity prices moderating and expected to slide further, we could see Indonesia’s trade surplus diminish or even move into deficit territory in 2023. The loss of this previous support suggests that the IDR will likely remain pressured for much of next year, especially if financial outflows continue. A weaker IDR in 2023 could also translate to additional rate hikes by the central bank early next year.

Indonesia's trade balance records US$5.48 billion surplus in Feb 2023​

1 hour ago

As of February 2023, Indonesia's trade balance has been in surplus for 34 consecutive months since May 2020, and currently, the trend is still increasing.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Statistics Indonesia (BPS) announced that Indonesia's trade balance in February 2023 experienced a surplus of US$5.48 billion (Rp84.7 trillion), supported by a surplus in the non-oil and gas sector of US$6.70 billion (Rp103.56 trillion).

Meanwhile, trade in the oil and gas sector recorded a deficit of US$1.22 billion (Rp18.86 trillion).

"As of February 2023, Indonesia's trade balance has been in surplus for 34 consecutive months since May 2020, and currently, the trend is still increasing," Deputy for Product Statistics at BPS M. Habibullah noted in a press conference, here, on Wednesday.

The three largest contributors to the surplus in the non-oil and gas sector in February 2023 were the machine, electrical equipment, and their parts; animal or vegetable oil and fat; as well as tin and its derivative products, he remarked.

The BPS deputy noted that the three sectors recorded a surplus of US$141 million (Rp2.18 trillion), US$106.2 million (Rp1.64 trillion), and US$46.4 million (Rp717.2 billion), respectively.

He remarked that the United States, India, and China were the three countries having contributed the most to Indonesia’s trade balance surplus in February 2023.

The trade balance surplus with the United States amounted to US$1.32 billion (Rp20.4 trillion).

The most exported commodities to the country included machinery, electrical equipment, and their parts; non-knitted clothing and their accessories; as well as knitted clothing and their accessories.

The commodities that became the largest contributors to Indonesia’s trade balance surplus with India were mineral fuels; animal or vegetable fats and oils; as well as metal ores, slag, and ash. The trade surplus with India was recorded at US$1.081 billion (Rp16.7 trillion).

Furthermore, Indonesia posted a trade surplus with China of US$999.8 million (Rp15.4 trillion), with iron and steel; mineral fuels; as well as animal or vegetable fats and oils as being the most exported commodities.

Meanwhile, the three biggest contributors to Indonesia’s trade balance deficit in February 2023 were Australia (US$400.4 million or Rp6.19 trillion), Thailand (US$342.1 million or Rp5.29 trillion), and Brazil (US$158.8 million or Rp2.45 trillion).

Habibullah stated that during the January-February 2023 period, the non-oil and gas sector clocked a surplus of US$12 billion (Rp185.48 trillion), while the oil and gas sector had recorded a deficit of US$2.64 billion (Rp40.81 trillion).

Hence, Indonesia recorded a surplus of US$9.36 billion (Rp144.68 trillion) during the first two months of 2023, he stated.

However, the value of exports in February 2023 had declined by 4.15 percent as compared to January 2023 (month-to-month/m-to-m), the BPS deputy stated.

He explained that it was caused due to a decrease by 20.26 percent in the value of oil and gas exports.

He stated that the value of imports in February 2023 also decreased by 13.68 percent m-to-m due to less imports of raw or supporting materials by 15.09 percent.
