Jakarta will sign a memorandum of understanding worth $34 billion next week to boost Indonesian purchases and investments in the United States, Chief Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto said.
"This shows that government, regulators, state-owned enterprises and the private sector are together in responding to the imposition of U.S. reciprocal tariffs," Airlangga noted.
The package covers extra fuel imports and new Indonesian investment in U.S. energy and agriculture, part of efforts to ease a looming 32% tariff on Indonesian goods.

The accord will be signed on 7 July, demonstrating, he said, that government, state firms and private business "stand together" against U.S. duties.
