Indonesia’s core inflation eased in October 2026, slowing to 2.56% year-over-year from 2.84% in September 2026. The latest reading, updated on 02 November 2026, indicates a moderation in underlying price pressures in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
Measured on a year-over-year basis, October’s figure reflects the change in core prices compared with October a year earlier, while the September reading captured the change against the same month of the previous year. The deceleration suggests that Indonesia’s non-volatile, underlying inflation dynamics are stabilizing, potentially giving policymakers slightly more room to balance inflation control with growth support.
The easing in core inflation will be closely watched by markets and analysts as they assess the trajectory of domestic demand and the outlook for monetary policy heading into the coming months.
