Abstract

This study examines the direct and indirect impacts of the Trump 2.0 reciprocal tariff policy on Indonesia’s exports and identifies export opportunities and challenges amid rising global protectionism. Using granular HS 6-digit commodity data, the analysis maps priority export sectors most vulnerable to tariff shocks. A mixed-methods approach combines multicountry partial equilibrium and CGE-GTAP models to estimate direct effects, while Trade in Value-Added (TiVA) data capture indirect spillover effects through affected trading partners. Qualitative evidence from Focus Group Discussions and field surveys complements the quantitative analysis. The findings show that Trump 2.0 tariffs are likely to suppress Indonesia’s exports both directly and through global spillovers. However, significant opportunities remain through export diversification toward Europe, the Middle East, Canada, and Mexico, as well as through trade creation in strategic commodities such as palm oil, nickel, and rubber. The study highlights the need to accelerate downstream industrial development, strengthen strategic industrial ecosystems, and better align trade and investment policies to enhance Indonesia’s export resilience and competitiveness amid evolving geopolitical conditions.
