Indonesia's Annual Inflation Cools to 2.88% in July, Undershooting Forecasts as Food Prices Ease
- ▸Indonesia's annual inflation eased to 2.88% in July 2026, down from 3.34% in June, Statistics Indonesia (BPS) reported on August 3 — below the roughly 3.2% economists had expected.
- ▸Consumer prices fell 0.14% month-on-month as food, beverage and tobacco prices dropped 0.89%, led by cheaper red onions, chilies, eggs, tomatoes and other fresh produce.
- ▸BPS said it cannot yet conclude whether the restarted free school-meal program and the new academic year pushed food and education prices up — the agency wants a dedicated study before drawing that link.
