That would make the year-to-date (ytd) inflation rate 0.94 percent and year-over-year (yoy) inflation rate 2.78 percent, it added.
The calculation is based on a price survey conducted by the bank in Week Four of this month, executive director of BI’s Communication Department, Onny Widjanarko, said in a statement received here on Friday.
Onions have the biggest contribution to the inflation rate, followed by gold jewelry, oranges, sugar, and mineral water.
BI will strengthen coordination with the government and other related authorities to monitor the dynamic rate, which is currently being affected by the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). (INE)
