December Inflation Picks Up   Headline inflation rose to 3.6% YoY in December (+3.3% in November). This was attributed to a rebound in the price of raw food and a faster increase in clothing prices. Further out, we expect headline inflation to inch lower to 3.6% in 2018, from +3.8% in 2017. This is on account of: 1.   Government’s commitment to keep energy prices stable; 2.   Manageable volatile food prices.              Economist: Rizki Fajar| +6221 2970 7065
