From January to July 2025, the Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) achieved a trade surplus of USD 221.34 million, an increase of roughly USD 18.82 million compared to the same period last year. Exports reached USD 324.25 million, significantly higher than imports, which totalled USD 102.91 million. The rise in exports (up 10.30% year-on-year) was driven largely by the manufacturing sector, especially non-knitted garments (up 13.68%) and knitted garments (up 48.46%). 

Despite this strong export performance, not all product categories fared well. Exports of furnishings, lighting, woven goods, paper and cardboard, and essential oils, fragrances and cosmetics saw declines. On the import side, raw materials and auxiliary goods dominated (USD 91.05 million), signalling increased industrial activity. The largest sources of imports were China (37.62%), Hong Kong (18.84%), and the United States (17.79%). Meanwhile, the US remains the top destination for DIY’s exports (43.37%), followed by Germany and Japan.
