Indonesia’s inflation climbed sharply in February 2026, with the year-on-year rate reaching 4.76%, up from 3.55% in January 2026. The latest figures, updated on 2 March 2026, show a notable acceleration in price pressures across the economy compared with the same period a year earlier.
The data are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning the February 2026 reading reflects how consumer prices have changed relative to February 2025, while the January 2026 figure was measured against January 2025. The jump of more than 1 percentage point between January and February indicates that inflationary momentum has strengthened at the start of the year.
The pickup in annual inflation will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers, as it may influence expectations for interest rates and broader economic policy in Indonesia if elevated price growth persists in the coming months.
