The Central Statistic Agency (BPS) has reporting that Indonesia’s exports climbed to US$33.6 billion in the first quarter of 2008 from US$25.5 billion in the same period last year (www.bps.go.id). 

Oil and gas exports in the first three months of 2008 reached $7.3 billion, or a 61.8% increase compared to the same period last year. 

A resources-based commodities boom has boosted the country’s export figures in the first quarter of this year by 31.7%, the latest survey reveals.
