Indonesian Trade Ministry on Tuesday revised up the country's export-growth target this year from 5 percent to more than 8.5 percent with the global economic recovery, a senior official said here. The country's exports stood at 116.49 billion U.S. dollars in 2009. Vice Minister of Trade Mahendra Siregar said that Indonesia's non-oil and gas exports this year were predicted to grow at 7 to 8. 5 percent. 'We are optimistic that the target of non-oil and gas exports in 2010 can be achieved ..as there are improvements in the world's economy,' he told a press briefing at his office. Palm oil, rubber, textiles, and fabricated products were among the export products from the Southeast Asia's largest economy. Indonesia is the world's biggest palm oil producer and the world's second biggest rubber maker. Siregar said the country's exports had indicated a trend of increase since March last year, after hit by the global recession since October 2008. The favorable rupiah exchange rate value against U.S. dollar, improvement in supply and investment, had also contributed to the good performance of export, he said. Rupiah was traded at 9,388 against one U.S. dollars on Tuesday. Investment grew at over 10 percent in 2009 and is predicted to grow at 20 percent this year. In 2009, Indonesia's exports were down by 15 percent to 116.49 billion U.S. dollars compared to that of 2008 due to the weakening of demand and prices during the global recession, said Siregar. However, he said the country recorded a trade surplus of 19.63 billion U.S. dollars last year compared to that of 2008. Indonesia's state reserve has reached to 69.6 billion U.S. dollars. Japan, followed by the United Sates and the European Union, is the top destination country of products from Indonesia.
