The Regional Office of the Directorate General of Treasury for South\nKalimantan (DJPb Kalsel) recorded that the international trade balance\nin the province experienced a surplus of approximately Rp16.48 trillion\nup to May 2026, supported by consistently high and expansive\nexports.<\/p>\n
The Head of the DJPb Kalsel Regional Office, Catur Ariyanto Widodo,\nstated in Banjarmasin on Thursday that the trade surplus indicates that\nSouth Kalimantan\u2019s external sector performance remains strong amidst\nglobal economic dynamics and serves as a primary pillar of regional\neconomic activity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe trade surplus in May 2026 grew by 6.19 per cent compared to the\nsame period the previous year and increased by 14.45 per cent compared\nto April 2026. This achievement reflects that foreign trade remained\nexpansive throughout the beginning of the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He explained that South Kalimantan\u2019s export performance reached\napproximately Rp19.81 trillion, representing a 7.7 per cent increase\ncompared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, South Kalimantan\u2019s import performance also\nincreased by 16.1 per cent annually, but only recorded approximately\nRp3.33 trillion. The rise in imports was primarily influenced by the\nincreased value of petroleum oil imports to meet the needs of the\nindustrial sector and economic activities.<\/p>\n
In line with the positive trade performance, Catur noted that South\nKalimantan\u2019s economy grew by 5.67 per cent in the first quarter of 2026\ncompared to the same period the previous year.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/south-kalimantan-posts-idr-16-48-trillion-trade-surplus-through-may-2026-1782399316", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
