Indonésia Taxa De Inflação

Indonesia’s annual inflation accelerated to 3.55% in January 2026 from 2.92% a month earlier, the highest since May 2023. While the latest reading fell short of market forecasts of 3.8%, it edged slightly above the central bank's 1-1/2%–3-1/2% target range. Housing inflation surged sharply (11.93% vs 1.62% in December), mainly because electricity tariff discounts granted in early 2025 created a low comparison base. Price pressures persisted for food (1.54% vs 4.58%), clothing (0.56% vs 0.66%), furnishings (0.16% vs 0.2%), health (1.62% vs 1.83%), transport (0.58% vs 1.23%), recreation (1.05% vs 1.17%), education (1.11% vs 1.22%), and restaurants (1.36% vs 1.46%), although momentum eased in some segments. Meantime, deflation in communication costs lingered (-0.19% vs -0.28%). Core inflation, which strips out volatile food and administered prices, rose to 2.45%, the strongest in nine months. Monthly, the CPI fell 0.15%, after a 0.64% gain in December, marking the first drop since August.
