Indonesia's inflation seen to tick up to 8.7% in October

Inflationary pressures still linger.

According to DBS, the usual string of data is due on Friday. It noted that Indonesia's October CPI data is likely to show inflation having ticked up higher in October.

DBS said we forecast CPI inflation at 8.7% YoY (up from 8.4% in September).

Here's more:

Core inflation is likely to have inched up slightly higher as well. Some inflationary pressures remain as businesses are still adjusting to the recent weakness in the Rupiah.

But bulk of the price adjustment has been frontloaded in August-September and impact from the June fuel price hike has subsided.

Our current projection is pencilling in CPI inflation in the 8-8.5% YoY range for December 2013, which would mean an average of inflation just over 7% for the entire of 2013. This is still in line with the average of the past 10 years.

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.
