Record exports surge helps Indonesia surplus

JAKARTA -- A record surge in exports helped Indonesia's trade surplus jump to three billion dollars in December, well above market forecasts, the Central Statistics Agency said Monday. The surplus rose from US$1.90 billion a month earlier as a recovery in global demand boosted exports to a record high, officials said. Exports leapt 23.90 percent from a month earlier and 49.80 percent from a year earlier to US$13.33 billion, due mainly to higher global commodity prices.
