Expor ts Total exports of goods from the European Union (EU-28) to Indonesia amounted to EUR 9.5 billion in 2014. Belgium represented a share of 4.8%, which makes it the 6 th major exporter of goods to Indonesia within the EU. Germany took first place with 31.0%, ahead of France (17.9%) and Italy (12.5%). Exports of Germany decreased by 5.4%, while those of France and Italy grew by 3.2% and 5.3% respectively. Since Belgian exports were down by a smaller percentage than sales of the European Union as a whole in 2014, our country gained market share in Indonesia. 6 While European exports (EU-28) to Indonesia were down by 2.0% in 2014, Belgian sales fell by 0.5% during this period.

Imports of the Netherlands and Germany dropped by 4.4% and 1.4% respectively, while those of Italy increased by 4.2%.

Total Belgian exports to Indonesia amounted to EUR 459.9 million compared to EUR 462.1 million in 2013, a 0.5% decrease. Belgian exports to Indonesia accounted for 0.1% of Belgium s total sales. Indonesia was Belgium s 38 th supplier of goods in 2014. It ranked after Portugal, but preceded Australia. Total Belgian imports of goods from Indonesia grew by 1.2%, from EUR 1,103.4 million in 2013 to EUR 1,116.2 million in 2014. Approximately 0.3% of total Belgian imports came from Indonesia. The following table shows the evolution of Belgium s trade with Indonesia for the period 2010-2014.

The trade deficit was reduced to EUR 471.0 million in 2011, due to the fact that imports were down and exports increased. Since purchases grew at a faster rate than sales in 2012, the trade deficit was once again up to EUR 613.2 million. From that point on, Belgiums trade balance with Indonesia became even more negative. In 2013 and 2014 the deficit soared to subsequently EUR 641.3 million and EUR 656.3 million.

Thanks in part to the increased sales of chemical products, Belgian exports of goods to Indonesia jumped by 40.8% in 2010. Sales continued to move in a positive direction during the next two years, with growth rates of 2.3% in 2011 and 12.5% in 2012. The fact that sales of machinery and equipment and transport equipment fell in 2013, caused total Belgian exports of goods to Indonesia to contract by 8.9% in 2013. Sales were still down in 2014, albeit at a vastly smaller rate of 0.5%. The increased purchases of footwear, headgear, have caused total Belgian imports of goods from Indonesia to rise by 7.4% in 2010. The subsequent drop in imports of the afforementioned product group, caused total imports to reduce by 4.4% a year later. After this lowpoint, Belgian imports from Indonesia recovered in 2012, recording a growth rate of 21.5%. This positive trend was once again interrupted in 2013 as purchases fell by 1.5%. They picked up once more in 2014, with a cautious rise of 1.2% BELGIAN FOREIGN TRADE AGENCY

INDONESIA 3.1. Tra de in goods 3.1.1. Expor ts 14 In 2014, chemical products represented more than a quarter of total Belgian exports of goods to Indonesia. With EUR 138.0 million, this group of products represented a share of 30.0% of total sales. Exports of this section were mainly composed of mineral or chemical fertilizers, human vaccines and medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses. Machinery and equipment (main sub-section: air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans ) represented an amount of EUR 96.3 million or a share of 20.9% in total Belgian exports of goods to Indonesia. Animal products, which were composed in part of milk and cream, came in third with a share of 11.0% and sales totaling EUR 50.6 million. There were two more sections with a share of more than 5%: plastics: EUR 33.0 million, or a share of 7.2% and transport equipment: EUR 27.6 million or a share of 6.0%.

The exported value of this group of products grew from EUR 13.3 million in 2013 to EUR 27.6 million in 2014. This is a jump of 108.3%. in large part be attributed to a rise in exports of preparations used in animal feeding and chocolate. Sales of mineral products were reduced by 72.7% between 2013 and 2014, from EUR 56.4 million to EUR 15.4 million. This was principally due to lower exports of petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals. Sales of chemical products, Belgium s main export section to Indonesia, were up by 6.5% in value in 2014. The other product groups from the top ten of which sales moved in a positive direction, displayed a growth rate that varied from 9.6% (machinery and equipment) to 68.6% (foodstuffs). The increase of this last section can The two other sections from the top ten that recorded a negative growth rate were animal products (-14.9%) and plastics (-9.7%). Despite the rise in sales of the two main product groups, total Belgian exports of goods to Indonesia were still down by 0.5% in 2014. This was among other things due to lower sales of the afforementioned mineral products. BELGIAN FOREIGN TRADE AGENCY

Impor ts 16 In 2014, Belgian imports of goods from Indonesia consisted for more than a third of footwear, headgear, Purchases of this section, which were composed in part of footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics or leather, totaled EUR 401.1 million and represented a share of 35.9%. Purchases of textiles (main sub-sections: T-shirts and track suits ) amounted to EUR 170.6 million or a share of 15.3% in total imports. Plastics, which were comprised of natural rubber and new pneumatic tyres, of rubber, completed the top three of Belgian imports from Indonesia with a share of 11.2% or EUR 125.0 million. Other import sections with a share of more than 5% were: machinery and equipment: EUR 67.1 million or a share of 6.0% and foodstuffs: EUR 58.5 million or a share of 5.2%.

Purchases of this product group grew by 43.2% in value, from EUR 40.8 million in 2013 to EUR 58.5 million in 2014. The fact that the quantity rose at a considerably faster rate than the value, indicates that the unit price has fallen. Purchases of footwear, headgear,, Belgium s main import section from Indonesia, were up by 14.3% in 2014, after a rise of 1.0% during the previous year. The other product groups from the top ten of which purchases jumped, recorded a growth rate that varied from 0.0% (machinery and equipment) to 42.8% (raw hides, skins, leather, ). The increase in imports of this last section can in large part be attributed to a rise in purchases of trunks and suitcases of leather or composition leather. Plastics (-19.8%) and stone, plaster, cement, (-17.9%) were the only product groups from the top ten of which imports were down in 2014. The decrease in purchases of the former section were due to lower imports of natural rubber and new pneumatic tyres, of rubber. The rise in purchases of the two main product groups had a significant effect on the overall result, as total Belgian imports of goods from Indonesia grew by 1.2% in 2014. 17 BELGIAN FOREIGN TRADE AGENCY

This made Indonesia the 64 th client of Belgium after Côte d Ivoire but before Lithuania with a share of 0.1% in total exports of services. Belgian imports of services from Indonesia represented EUR 41.6 million in 2014, a 6.2% increase when compared to the year before. Indonesia was Belgium s 72 nd supplier of services in 2014. It ranked before Tanzania, but after Liberia. The following table shows the evolution of Belgium s trade in services with Indonesia for the period 2012-2014. 19 Evolution of Belgium s trade in services with indonesia 2012 to 2014 IN THOUSANDS 2012 2013 2014 EXPORTS 71,399 135,308 71,200 IMPORTS 46,694 39,215 41,637 TRADE BALANCE 24,705 96,093 29,563 EXPORTS: VARIATION IN % 11.5 89.5-47.4 IMPORTS: VARIATION IN % 4.8-16.0 6.2 Since exports of services to Indonesia outperformed imports from 2012 to 2014, Belgium s services trade balance with this country was clearly positive over the last three years. imports moved downwards. In 2014 the situation was in reverse, as exports contracted and imports were up. This caused the surplus on the services balance to drop to EUR 29.6 million. The surplus on the services trade balance, which totaled EUR 24.7 million in 2012, increased to EUR 96.1 million in 2013 because exports increased, while The positive services balance of the last three years stands in contrast to the trade balance for goods, which was continually negative during this period.

INDONESIA 3.3. Trade in services 3.3.1. Expor ts 20 Of the five main sections, other business services was the largest export category in 2014 with a share of 49.8% or EUR 35.5 million. This section covers a wide variety of services like merchanting, operational leasing services, legal services, accounting, auditing, bookkeeping and tax consultancy services, advertising, market research and public opinion polling and waste treatment and depollution. Communication services and royalties and licence fees took 2 nd and 3 rd place with a share of 11.7% and 10.6% respectively. In 2014, the largest percentage increase was recorded by the other business services. Exports of this section rose from EUR 16.0 million in 2013 to EUR 35.5 million in 2014. This is a surge of 121.0%. Transportation services (+19.2%) were the only other section from the top five to display a positive growth rate. The positive evolution of the afforementioned sections proved vastly insufficient to counteract the drop in the remaining service groups. Especially the plunge of royalties and licence fees (-91.3%) stands out. Furthermore there was also a loss in communication services (-28.2%) and travel services (-8.0%). This resulted in total Belgian exports of services to Indonesia to tumble by 47.4% in 2014. Belgian exports to Indonesia by principal services IN THOUSANDS 2013 2014 2014 SHARE (IN %) 2014/2013 VAR.

5 INDEX OF THE UNIT PRICE IN IMPORTS AND EXPORTS 25 BELGIAN FOREIGN TRADE AGENCY

INDONESIA 5. Index of the uni t pric e in impor ts and expor ts The table below gives an overview of the evolution of the index of the unit price in imports and exports for Belgium (with the world). Thanks to this index, the general evolution of the price of goods can be analyzed. This makes it possible to see the global evolution of Belgian imports and exports in perspective by determining the part which is caused by the price evolution (and hence which part is caused by a change in quantity). 26 The table has to be interpreted as follows: If a given product had an export value of EUR 100 in the year 2010, then this product had an average value of EUR 107.5 in 2014. The same principle goes for imports. If a particular product had an import value of EUR 100 in 2010, the same product had an import value of EUR 108.7 in 2014.
