Bank Indonesia reported that consumer price inflation rose 0.30% month on month in September 2026, taking annual headline inflation to 3.28%. Inflation remained within the 2.5%±1% target corridor, and the central bank expects it to stay within that range in 2026 and 2027. Annual core inflation eased to 2.84% from 2.92%, reflecting anchored inflation expectations despite high global commodity prices. Volatile food inflation accelerated to 5.03% from 4.06% as weather disruptions and higher input costs reduced production of several food staples. Administered price inflation declined to 3.25% from 3.32%, with higher nonsubsidized fuel prices partly offset by lower airfares.
