        "summary": "Bank Indonesia (BI) attributes the stable Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation in March 2026, which recorded a monthly rate of 0.41% and an annual rate of 3.48%, to consistent monetary policies and strong synergy with central and regional governments through the Central and Regional Inflation Control Teams (TPIP and TPID). Core inflation eased to 0.13% month-on-month and 2.52% year-on-year, influenced by declining global gold prices and managed expectations despite heightened demand during Eid al-Fitr. BI anticipates inflation to remain within the 2.5% \u00b11% target for 2026 and 2027, supported by enhanced food security programmes and inflation control initiatives.",
        "content": "<p>Bank Indonesia (BI) views the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation in\nMarch 2026, which remained stable within the target range, as partly\nresulting from consistent monetary policy. This achievement is also\nsupported by close synergy in inflation control between BI and central\nand regional governments through the Central and Regional Inflation\nControl Teams (TPIP and TPID), as well as strengthened implementation of\nthe national food resilience programme. Executive Director of BI\u2019s\nCommunication Department, Ramdan Denny Prakoso, stated in a press\nrelease received in Jakarta on Thursday that moving forward, Indonesia\u2019s\ncentral bank is confident that inflation will remain controlled within\nthe 2.5% \u00b11% target range in 2026 and 2027. Based on data from the\nCentral Statistics Agency (BPS) released on Wednesday (1\/4), the CPI in\nMarch 2026 recorded inflation of 0.41% (month-to-month\/mtm), resulting\nin an annual CPI inflation of 3.48% (year-on-year\/yoy), a decrease from\nthe previous month\u2019s realisation of 4.76% (yoy). Core inflation in March\n2026 was recorded at 0.13% (mtm), lower than the previous month\u2019s 0.42%\n(mtm). The development of core inflation was mainly influenced by the\ndecline in global gold commodity prices and stable inflation\nexpectations, amid increased demand during the Eid al-Fitr National\nReligious Holiday (HBKN) period. Annually, core inflation in March 2026\nwas 2.52% (yoy), down from the previous month\u2019s 2.63% (yoy). The\nvolatile food group in March 2026 experienced inflation of 1.58% (mtm),\na decrease from the previous month\u2019s 2.50% (mtm). Inflation in the\nvolatile food group was mainly contributed by commodities such as\nbroiler chicken meat, rice, and broiler eggs, in line with increased\ndemand during the Eid al-Fitr HBKN period. Annually, the volatile food\ngroup experienced inflation of 4.24% (yoy), lower than the previous\nmonth\u2019s 4.64% (yoy). \u201cMoving forward, volatile food inflation is\nprojected to be controlled, supported by close synergy between Bank\nIndonesia and TPIP and TPID, as well as strengthened implementation of\nthe Inflation Control and Prosperous Food Movement (GPIPS),\u201d said\nRamdan. Meanwhile, the administered prices group in March 2026\nexperienced inflation of 0.31% (mtm), an increase from the previous\nmonth\u2019s deflation of 0.03% (mtm). The inflation was mainly contributed\nby commodities such as petrol and intercity transport fares, in line\nwith adjustments to non-subsidised fuel oil (BBM) prices and increased\nmobility during the Eid al-Fitr HBKN period. Annually, the administered\nprices group recorded inflation of 6.08% (yoy), lower than the previous\nmonth\u2019s 12.66% (yoy).<\/p>",
