Timid Inflation
Indonesia’s trade surplus was at US$785.3 million in February as exports increased 0.68% (mtm) to US$14.57bn while imports fell 7.58% (mtm) to US$13.78bn. Crude palm oil and cacao showed higher prices and better demand, supporting the surplus as other commodities continued to see declining prices.
March’s inflation was reportedly at 0.08%, way below February’s pace of 0.26% and also significantly slower than last year’s 0.63%. A drop in prices of food commodities coupled with stronger rupiah attributed to the slowing inflation in March. Year-on-year, March’s inflation slowed to 7.32% vs. 7.75% seen in February. Core inflation was at 0.21% (mtm) & 4.61% (yty).
