Indonesia’s month-on-month inflation cooled in October 2026, with consumer prices rising 0.22%, down from a 0.30% increase recorded in September 2026. The fresh data, updated on 2 November 2026, indicate a modest slowdown in short-term price pressures compared with the previous month.
On a month-over-month basis, the October figure shows that price growth is still positive but losing some momentum. By comparison, September’s 0.30% rise reflected a faster pace of price increases relative to the month before it, while October’s 0.22% suggests a softer inflation pulse as the final quarter of the year begins.
The data will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation into year-end, with particular attention to whether the October moderation signals a sustained easing in monthly price pressures or a temporary pause after stronger gains in September.
