Covid-19 curbs and measures seen widening Indonesia's trade surplus in July

JAKARTA, Aug 14 (Reuters): Indonesia's trade surplus is expected to show an expansion in July after the government imposed mobility restrictions to control a spike in Covid-19 cases, squeezing exports and imports, a Reuters poll has showed.

South-East Asia's biggest economy has been enjoying an export boom on the back of high commodity prices, allowing for a trade surplus every month since May of 2020.
