Taipei (Antara Bali) - Indonesia recorded a surplus of US$1.56 billion in trade with Taiwan in the first half of 2014, or an increase of 89.5 percent from the same period last year.
Head of the Indonesian Trade and Economic Office in Taipei, Arief Fadillah, said in a news release on Friday the bilateral trade was worth US$1.05 billion in June alone up from US$0.91 million in May, 2014.

However, cumulatively the bilateral trade in the first half of 2014 reached US$5.66 billion, down 6.88 percent on year.
"Therefore, we have to be more active in taking part in trade exhibition in Taiwan together with Indonesian companies" he said.
