FX.co ★ Indonesia’s Retail Sales Growth Cools Sharply to 3.5% in December YoY

Indonesia’s retail sales growth slowed markedly in December 2025, with year-over-year expansion easing to 3.5%, down from 6.3% in November 2025. The latest figures, updated on 10 February 2026, indicate a clear deceleration in consumer spending momentum at the end of the year.

Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring changes in retail sales for each month against the same month a year earlier. The drop from November’s 6.3% to December’s 3.5% suggests softer demand during what is typically a key period for consumption, and may prompt closer scrutiny from policymakers and investors tracking the strength of Indonesia’s domestic demand.
