“A minister said Friday that Indonesia’s pledge to buy $15 billion worth of US energy won’t take a toll on the national energy trade balance, citing that it would only import less from its ASEAN neighbors, among others, to make room for American shipments.”
“Indonesia has just sealed a tariff deal with the US government — a major outcome from President Prabowo Subianto’s days-long visit to Washington. The reciprocal trade agreement also binds Indonesia to facilitate the imports of American energy. The purchase commitments are as follows: $3.5 billion of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), $4.5 billion of crude oil, and $7 billion of refined gasoline. The government later clarified that the upcoming shopping spree will not translate into ballooning energy imports. To keep the overall import volume unchanged, Indonesia will count on reallocation. That is by buying less from its traditional partners.”
“The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) data showed Indonesia’s annual oil and gas imports from ASEAN nations totaled $15.2 billion in 2025, about $9.7 billion of which had come from Singapore. Another $5.3 billion was of Malaysian origin. The overall oil and gas imports neared $32.8 billion that year.”
