Indonesia’s annual inflation slowed markedly in April 2026, with the year-over-year rate easing to 2.42%, down from 3.48% in March 2026. The data, updated on 4 May 2026, indicate a notable cooling in price pressures compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the “actual” reading reflects the change in prices in April 2026 versus April 2025, while the previous indicator captured March 2026 relative to March 2025. The sharp moderation from March to April suggests a softer inflation environment as the second quarter begins, which may influence expectations around monetary and fiscal policy in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
