BI Chief Warns Indonesia's Inflation Could Rise, Here Are Its Triggers!

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) Perry Warjiyo warned that the pace of inflation in the country will be influenced by sharply rising oil and commodity prices. This, he said, will put pressure on domestic inflation.

Therefore, BI is determined to strengthen the mix of monetary policy to keep inflation under control, particularly imported inflation and government-regulated prices, including non-subsidised energy prices.

“Going forward, higher oil and commodity prices can have an impact on the pressure from imported inflation and government-regulated prices, including non-subsidised energy prices,” Perry said at a press conference following BI’s Board of Governors meeting, Wednesday (20 May 2026).

“In addition, BI will strengthen the policy mix to keep inflation under control alongside exchange-rate stability,” he said.
