        "summary": "Bank Indonesia reported that March 2026 consumer price index inflation stood at 0.41% month-on-month and 3.48% year-on-year, down from February's 4.76% yoy, remaining within the target range of 2.5\u00b11%. This stability is attributed to consistent monetary policy, strong coordination between Bank Indonesia and government bodies in inflation control teams, and enhanced implementation of national food security programmes. Bank Indonesia remains optimistic that inflation will stay controlled within the target for 2026 and 2027, supported by declining core inflation, moderated volatile food prices, and adjustments in administered prices amid heightened demand during Eid al-Fitr.",
        "content": "<p>Executive Director of the Bank Indonesia Communication Department,\nRamdan Denny Prakoso, stated that the Consumer Price Index (CPI)\ninflation for March 2026 remained stable within the target range of\n2.5\u00b11%. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the\nMarch 2026 CPI recorded inflation of 0.41% (mtm), resulting in annual\ninflation of 3.48% (yoy), down from February 2026\u2019s 4.76% (yoy).\n\u201cInflation that remains stable within its target range is the result of\nconsistent monetary policy,\u201d he said in an official statement quoted on\nFriday, 3 April 2026. According to Ramdan, inflation remains controlled\ndue to the close synergy in inflation control between Bank Indonesia and\nthe government (central and regional) within the Central and Regional\nInflation Control Teams (TPIP and TPID), as well as strengthening the\nimplementation of the National Food Security Programme. Bank Indonesia,\nRamdan said, is optimistic that inflation will remain controlled within\nthe target range of 2.5\u00b11% in 2026 and 2027. He explained that core\ngroup inflation in March 2026 was recorded at 0.13% (mtm), lower than\nthe previous month\u2019s 0.42% (mtm). Annually, core inflation was 2.52%\n(yoy), down from 2.63% (yoy). This development was influenced by the\ndecline in global gold prices and stable inflation expectations amid\nincreased demand during the National Religious Holiday of Eid al-Fitr.\nThe volatile food group in March 2026 experienced inflation of 1.58%\n(mtm), lower than the previous month\u2019s 2.50% (mtm). Annually, inflation\nin this group was recorded at 4.24% (yoy), down from 4.64% (yoy).\nInflation was mainly contributed by broiler chicken meat, rice, and\nbroiler eggs in line with increased demand during Eid al-Fitr. Going\nforward, volatile food inflation is projected to remain controlled,\nsupported by the synergy between Bank Indonesia and TPIP and TPID, as\nwell as strengthening the implementation of the Inflation Control and\nProsperous Food Movement (GPIPS). Meanwhile, the administered prices\ngroup recorded inflation of 0.31% (mtm), reversing from the previous\nmonth\u2019s deflation of 0.03% (mtm). Annually, this group experienced\ninflation of 6.08% (yoy), lower than the previous month\u2019s 12.66% (yoy).\nInflation was mainly triggered by increases in petrol prices and\nintercity transport fares in line with adjustments to non-subsidised\nfuel prices and increased mobility during Eid al-Fitr.<\/p>",
