The Covid 19 pandemic that occurred in early 2019 threatened all countries, including
Indonesia, apart from the health sector which was greatly affected by the pandemic, namely
economic growth, and even reached a negative point. Various policies that have been
carried out by the government to break the chain of spread of Covid 19, one of which is
large-scale social restrictions, all transportation routes between countries are tightened,
especially with regard to export and import, cooperation between countries in trade is
temporarily closed, until the situation is completely recovered , of course this is a bad
signal for the Indonesian state in the economic field, this is because international trade
cooperation in terms of export import is one of the contributors to economic growth. As
time goes by, the spread of the Covid-19 virus has decreased, economic recovery is
increasingly being carried out to return conditions to normal, access to transportation and
international trade cooperation for export and import are slowly opening. The purpose of
this research was to examine the impact of exports and imports on economic growth
