Dream - Indonesia turns out to also import goods from Israel. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded the import value of products from Israel reaching US$14.4 million or around Rp226 billion, throughout January to September 2023.

Plt. Head of BPS, Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, said that Indonesia indeed does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. However, it does not mean that both countries cannot engage in trade.

"I can convey that if we do not have diplomatic relations, it does not mean that economically we are not allowed to maintain trade relations. This can still be done because it is a business-to-business nature."

Meanwhile, Minister of Investment/BKPM Spokesperson Tina Talisa said that the Israel-Palestine conflict is said to not disrupt investment flows to Indonesia. Tina conveyed that they continue to monitor the dynamics of global geopolitics, including the inflow of investments into Indonesia. However, until now, no direct influence has been found from the escalation of the conflict that occurred. "But so far, both the conflict in the Middle East, from what we see, the conditions in Palestine do not directly affect Indonesia," she said.

"With that, he is still optimistic that Indonesia's investment target at the end of 2023 can still be achieved. However, Tina admitted to being concerned about the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict. 'So we are still optimistic that the investment will be achieved, as committed by Mr. Bahlil, God willing the target will be achieved by the end of the year,' she said."

The Israel-Hamas war is known to have formed an axis of several countries that declare their support for one party. However, Tina mentioned that despite these alliances, Indonesia is not influenced in terms of investment context. She gave an example of the ongoing trade cooperation between Indonesia and Taiwan.
