Inflation Update: Indonesia Records 0.08% of Inflation in March 2014
On Tuesday (01/04), Statistics Indonesia announced that Indonesia's March 2014 inflation rate was recorded at 0.08 percent, considerably lower than February 2014 inflation (0.26 percent) and March inflation in 2013 (0.63 percent). Factors that contributed to lower than expected March inflation were a decline in prices of food commodities due to the start of the harvest season, and the appreciating rupiah, which neutralized imported inflation. On a year-on-year basis, Indonesian inflation eased to 7.32 percent from 7.75 percent in February 2014.
Indonesia's core inflation in March 2014 was recorded at 0.21 percent or 4.61 percent (yoy). Tomorrow (02/04), an analysis of March inflation will be presented in the News Columns section.
