Bank of Indonesia and the Indonesian Government have agreed to strengthen policy coordination to keep Consumer Price Index inflation within the 2.5±1% target range in 2026, following a High Level Meeting of the Central Inflation Control Team (TPIP). The strategy centres on five priorities: maintaining headline inflation within target; keeping volatile food inflation in the 3.0–5.0% range; tightening central and local coordination on food inflation through improved supply availability across time and regions (including productivity measures and expanded access to financing to support priority programmes such as Free Nutritious Meals) and better distribution and food logistics (including facilitating inter-regional shipments from surplus to deficit areas); calibrating administered price policies with appropriate timing, sequencing and magnitude; and strengthening policy synergy and communications to manage inflation expectations. Additional measures include strengthening post-disaster infrastructure and logistics to accelerate recovery in affected regions and supporting purchasing power through transport and toll discounts during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, alongside food assistance for eligible households in February–March 2026. TPIP will continue implementing programmes aligned with the 2025–2027 Inflation Control Roadmap, with a focus on sustaining supply and improving distribution, including a new “Inflation Control and Prosperous Food Movement” programme positioned as a reinforcement of the National Food Inflation Control Movement (GNPIP). A national coordination meeting on inflation control (Rakornas) is planned for late June 2026 under the theme of strengthening food security and expanding local government financial digitalisation for price stability and faster economic growth.
