Indonesia's headline inflation rate falls to 3.9% in July

It’s been heading downwards for the past five months.

Indonesia's headline inflation rate fell from 4.8% in June to 3.9% in July.

According to UOB, the rate has been heading downwards for the past five months.

Bank Indonesia has contributed to taming food price inflation after growth of food prices slowed down since the start of the year to 1.50% in July from an average of 7.24% in 2016.

Here's more from UOB:
This is central in anchoring the inflation in the country. While inflation has likely peaked, we do not expect the inflation rate to shift significantly lower from here to justify another easing cycle.

We expect the year-end inflation to be around 4.0% y/y in both 2017 and 2018. That will limit the scope for rate cut in Indonesia especially as investors continue to expect tighter monetary policies in the US and the EU.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
