Inflation to be close to 3.5 percent this year: BI

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesias inflation rate is most likely to come close to 3.5 percent this year if the prices of goods can be controlled in the remaining three months, Bank Indonesia (BI) Deputy Senior Governor Mirza Adityaswara predicted.

"With three more months left in 2017, say, if the year-to-date inflation is 2.7 percent, then the inflation rate may stay below 4 percent or even come close to 3.5 percent year-on-year (yoy)," he stated after, attending a national meeting of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) here, on Tuesday.

The inflation, which stays at the central banks lower target range, can be achieved if the prices of goods can be controlled properly, he noted.

But he refused to divulge the year-end inflation forecast.

"The inflation is very likely to come close to 3.5 percent. But BI still sticks to its target of 3.7-3.8 percent yoy," he explained.

Asked about the September inflation of 0.13 percent, higher than BIs deflation forecast of 0.01 percent, he remarked that it is the result of pressure on the prices of rice and several chili variants.

"But on a monthly basis, the difference is not too large," he added.

BI has set a target of the countrys inflation rate for this year at a range of 3-5 yoy.

According to BI, inflationary pressure eased in the middle of this year, allowing for the inflation to return to less than 4 percent, or the lower limit of inflation target.

Indonesias inflation reached 3.02 percent yoy last year. BI has predicted the inflation to increase to 3.5, plus and minus 1, percent next year.(*)

  1. Dengan ini saya nyatakan MUI.....HARAM,

    ehm kira2 fatwa saya tadi ngaruh ngga ya kalo ngga garuh berarti sama kaya fatwa MUI donk

    MUI Mulutnya Untuk usIl hehehehe......kacian dech mui

  2. Seharusnya MUI bisa lebih mengurusi hal2 yang di kira penting bagi kemaslahatan rakyat dan kesejahtraan masyarakat.mengapa MUI tidak mengeluarkan Fatwa haram KORUPSI?yang jelas2 merugikan semua rakyat kecil.coba kalian pertimbangkan lagi....?berfikir dengan hati bukan sekedar memberikan keputusan.

  3. yg jd masalah dlm pengharaman rokok sebenarnya berkutat pada pendapatan negara pd cukai tembakau dan pendapatan petani tembakau dan buruh pabrik rokok,coba sebelumnya pemerintah,petani,pengusaha & MUI du2k bareng untuk membahas jalan keluar pengalihan sektor perkebunan tembakau ke pertanian yg lebih baik dan menyerap tenaga kerja lebih banyak,sehingga pendapatan perusahaan & pemerintah juga tidak berkurang. ook bukan.good luck buat MUI dan arakyat INDONESIA.

  4. ASSALLAMU'ALAIKUM



    MUI yth,

    Mudah-mudahan fatwa itu di awali dg Istikharah dan sepi kepentingan. Karena apa ?Masalahnya tdk sederhana itu. Dari mana MUI

    melihat dan bersikap harusnya cerminan kearifan dan keteduhan. Harusnya pula kemasan maupun frormatnya jangan hanya sebatas haram-halal saja. Sebagai anak/bani kaum sarungan saya bingung. Kenapa sih sekarang MUI garab hal-hal yang sepele.



    Wassalam
