Indonesia is intensifying efforts to diversify its export markets following the United States' implementation of reciprocal tariff policies targeting several of its trading partners, including Indonesia. Spearheaded by the Trade Ministry, the initiative aims to sustain export growth by expanding into non-traditional and emerging markets. The new US tariffs are expected to suppress demand for various Indonesian exports, prompting the government to seek alternative markets to maintain trade momentum. In addition to Canada, Indonesia recently restructured its trade relationship with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), turning a trade deficit into a surplus. The government is also pursuing a Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) with Tunisia, which Djatmiko said could serve as a gateway for Indonesian exports to North Africa. Looking ahead, Indonesia is eyeing new trade ties with South America --particularly Peru-- the European Union, and the Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Indonesia has also sought Australia's support in gaining broader access to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), as Jakarta aims to deepen trade relations with Mexico and other South American economies.Source : https://jakartaglobe.id/business/indonesia-targets-canada-tunisia-and-eurasia-for-export-growth (ICE GIACARTA)
