FX.co ★ Indonesia Inflation Rate at 8-Month High of 1.95%

Indonesia experienced a 1.95% increase in consumer prices year-on-year in April 2025, an acceleration from the 1.03% rise observed in the prior month. This surge represents the highest annual inflation rate since August 2024, largely fueled by increased spending during the Eid al-Fitr celebrations. Nevertheless, inflation remains within the central bank’s target range of 1.5% to 3.5%. Core inflation—which excludes regulated and volatile food prices—also saw a modest rise to a 22-month peak of 2.50%. On a monthly scale, consumer prices rose by 1.17%, a deceleration from the 1.65% increase recorded in March, which was the most significant monthly gain since December 2014.
