Indonesia Cements Status as China’s Top ASEAN Partner with Historic Currency Pact – EBC Financial Group Insights

Media OutReach Newswire June 5, 2025

With bilateral trade projected to hit USD160B in 2025, Indonesia’s Yuan-Rupiah pact with China for de-dollarisation and reshapes ASEAN’s financial future.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 June 2025 – As one of China’s largest ASEAN trading partners, with bilateral commerce reaching USD147.80 billion in 2024 (6.1% YoY growth), Indonesia has solidified its economic ties with China. During Chinese Premier Li Qiang’s state visit ahead of the ASEAN-GCC-China Summit, the two nations signed four new MoUs—most critically, an upgraded Local Currency Settlement (LCS) pact between Bank Indonesia (BI) and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). EBC Financial Group (EBC), a leading brokerage firm, examines how this agreement redefines Indonesia’s economic resilience.

Indonesia cements its position as China's top ASEAN partner with USD147.8B bilateral trade in 2024, strengthened by a historic Yuan-Rupiah currency pact.

Sectoral Wins: The Foundation for Deeper Ties
The accords support Indonesia’s LCS framework across key sectors. Trade and tourism will benefit from streamlined visa policies, targeting 2 million Chinese visitors in 2025. A USD5 billion commitment for twin industrial parks (Fujian-Batang SEZ) will create over 100,000 jobs. Soft power initiatives, like joint TB vaccine research and media collaboration, strengthen people-to-people ties.

The LCS Breakthrough: Financial Sovereignty in Action
The BI-PBOC agreement enables Rupiah-Yuan use in capital accounts, offering three advantages:

  • Trade Shield: Bilateral trade (USD147.80B in 2024, +6.1% YoY) avoids costly USD conversions for exports like palm oil and nickel.
  • Rate Cut Buffer: BI gains flexibility with 5.3% of reserves in yuan, easing policy without destabilising the Rupiah.
  • BRICS Leverage: Access to New Development Bank funding supports President Prabowo’s USD20B infrastructure agenda, reducing dollar reliance.

“This isn’t just about cutting transaction fees—it’s a recalibration of Indonesia’s financial DNA,” says David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. “By enabling Yuan-backed trade and investment flows, BI is building a hedge against Fed policy shocks.”

ASEAN’s New Template: Unity Amid Global Realignments
China-ASEAN trade hit USD330B (Jan-Apr 2025, +9.2% YoY), with Indonesia leading regional integration. The upgraded CAFTA 3.0 and ASEAN-GCC-China Summit highlight diversified economic partnerships. As Barrett notes, “Indonesia is crafting a blueprint for monetary diversification. The Local Currency Settlement (LCS) deal illustrates how mid-sized economies can reduce overreliance on a single dominant currency, balancing regional cohesion with global standards.”
