Indonesia’s March inflation eases, but Iran war means price risks loom
It goes down to 3.48%, lower than the February rate of 4.76%
[JAKARTA] Indonesia’s inflation returned to within the central bank’s target range for the first time in three months in March, but analysts said that the conflict in the Middle East was likely to drive up consumer prices in coming months.
The country’s annual inflation eased to 3.48 per cent in March, data by Statistics Indonesia showed on Wednesday (Apr 1), lower than the median forecast of 3.6 per cent in a Reuters poll and the February rate of 4.76 per cent, which was the highest in nearly three years.
