Economist Enrico Tanuwidjaja and Junior Economist Agus Santoso at UOB Group comment on the latest release of inflation figures in Indonesia.
Key Takeaways
Indonesia's headline inflation in Jul eased to 3.1% y/y viz. 3.5% in Jun, underpinned largely by decrease in agricultural commodities due to an improvement in food production and stocks. The implementation of agricultural technology and high-productivity seeds of red onion and chili lifted its productivity and drive deflation of these commodities in Jul.

Food-related sub-component eased to 1.9% y/y viz. 2.9%, marking the largest price deceleration among the sub-components, followed by transportation, and housing. Meanwhile, education sub-component recorded higher inflation in line with new schoolyear period.
