Indonesia’s annual inflation rate accelerated to 3.19% in August 2026, up from 2.88% in July 2026, according to data updated on 1 September 2026. The figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month with the same month a year earlier.
The latest reading marks a noticeable pick-up in consumer price growth, suggesting that price pressures strengthened in August compared with the previous month’s trend. While July’s 2.88% figure reflected a more moderate pace of inflation, the move to 3.19% in August indicates a firmer upward trajectory in annual price increases across the Indonesian economy.
These developments will be closely watched by investors and policymakers, as sustained upward movement in inflation could influence expectations for future monetary and fiscal decisions in Indonesia.
