KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded Indonesia's trade balance suffered a deficit of US $ 1.82 billion in October 2018. This deficit figure is far different from the expectations of economists who estimate the trade balance will record a deficit of around US$ 300 - 600 million last month. Head of BPS Suhariyanto said the oil and gas balance deficit contributed to the trade balance deficit of US$ 1.42 billion. Meanwhile, the non-oil and gas balance deficit was US$ 393.2 million.
