Indonesia's consumer prices rose by 1.03%
Tuesday, 8 April 2025 11:51 WIB | ECONOMY |Asia

Indonesia's consumer prices rose by 1.03% yoy in March 2025, below forecasts of a 1.16% gain, after a 0.09% drop in February. It was the highest inflation since last December as the electricity tariff returned to normal after discounting for the first two months of 2025 and rising consumption amid the Eid al-Fitr festive season. Core inflation, excluding administered and volatile food prices, stood at a 20-month high of 2.48%, slightly surpassing forecasts of a 2.50% rise. Monthly, the CPI increased by 1.65%, the most since December 2014, reversing a 0.48% fall in February, compared to estimates of a 1.79% gain, due to a low base effect last month amid electricity tariff reduction.
