Abstract
Exchange rate fluctuations are a crucial macroeconomic variable influencing a country’s international trade performance. As a developing country with a relatively high level of economic openness, Indonesia is highly vulnerable to exchange rate movements, particularly against the US dollar. This study aims to analyze the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on Indonesia’s international trade performance. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a literature review method, drawing from accredited academic journals, international economics textbooks, and official reports from national and international institutions. The findings indicate that depreciation of the rupiah tends to stimulate exports by enhancing price competitiveness, while simultaneously increasing import costs. Conversely, currency appreciation may weaken Indonesia’s export competitiveness. Therefore, maintaining exchange rate stability is essential for sustaining Indonesia’s international trade performance
