        "summary": "Jakarta's annual inflation rate fell to 2.12 per cent in April 2026, down 1.25 percentage points from 3.37 per cent the previous year, primarily due to the absence of a low-base effect following the normalisation of electricity tariffs after discounts in March. Key contributors to the annual inflation included personal care services, food, tobacco, and transportation, with jewellery gold, chicken meat, and air transport leading commodity-specific increases. Monthly inflation rose by 0.21 per cent, driven by higher transportation costs from elevated aviation fuel prices and the end of Lebaran discounts, alongside a petrol price hike.",
        "content": "<p>The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for DKI Jakarta stated that the\nannual inflation rate in Jakarta for April 2026 was 2.12 per cent, or\n1.25 per cent lower than the same month last year, which was 3.37 per\ncent. \u201cThe significant decline in annual inflation for April 2026 was\ninfluenced, among other things, by the absence of the low-base effect\ndue to the normalisation of electricity tariffs after the discount in\nMarch 2026,\u201d said the Head of BPS DKI Jakarta, Kadarmanto, in Jakarta on\nMonday. Based on expenditure groups, the annual inflation in April 2026\nwas contributed by the personal care and other services group with a\ncontribution of 0.82 per cent, followed by the food, beverages, and\ntobacco group (0.45 per cent), and transportation (0.22 per cent).\nMeanwhile, based on commodities, the main contributors to the capital\u2019s\nannual inflation in April 2026 were jewellery gold with an inflation\ncontribution of 0.70 per cent; followed by broiler chicken meat\n(contribution 0.20 per cent); air transport (contribution 0.15 per\ncent); rice (0.12 per cent); and cooking oil (0.07 per cent). BPS DKI\nrecorded several commodities that dampened the pace of annual inflation\nin Jakarta in April 2026, namely shallots with a deflation contribution\nof 0.1 per cent; then garlic (deflation contribution 0.07 per cent); red\nchillies (deflation contribution 0.06 per cent); bird\u2019s eye chillies\n(0.03 per cent); and mobile phones (0.03 per cent). Meanwhile, on a\nmonthly basis, Jakarta experienced inflation of 0.21 per cent in April\n2026 compared to March 2026, dominated by an increase in the price index\nof the transportation group with a contribution of 0.19 per cent. The\ncommodities contributing the largest inflation share in that group were\nair transport fares and petrol with contributions of 0.15 per cent and\n0.04 per cent, respectively. \u201cThe high air transport inflation was\ntriggered by rising avtur prices and the normalisation of air transport\nfares after the Lebaran discount,\u201d said Kadarmanto. Regarding petrol,\nthe price increase for non-subsidised petrol on 18 April led to that\ncommodity experiencing monthly inflation of 0.73 per cent and\ncontributing 0.04 per cent to inflation in DKI Jakarta.<\/p>",
