May Inflation Falls Further; Core Unchanged

 

u  Indonesia’s headline inflation dropped to 3.2% YoY in May from 3.4% in April; Core CPI unchanged at 2.7% YoY

 

u  General decline in growth is seen in most CPI components, with the exception of clothing prices;

 

u  Going forward, we revise our 2018 headline inflation to 3.5% (2017: 3.8%) on account of higher interest rates and the Government’s commitment towards keeping energy prices and volatile food prices manageable.
