Bank Indonesia Eyes Potential Policy Easing Amid Stable Inflation
Bank Indonesia Eyes Potential Policy Easing Amid Stable Inflation
Indonesia's annual inflation rate stood at 2.12 per cent in August, barely changing from July's 2.13 per cent, according to official data released on Monday. This rate remains comfortably within the central bank's target range and aligns with market expectations.
週一公佈的官方數據顯示，印度尼西亞8月份的年通貨膨脹率爲2.12％，與7月份的2.13％相比幾乎沒有變化。該利率完全保持在央行的目標區間內，符合市場預期。
The August headline inflation rate is the lowest recorded since February 2022 and matches the forecast from a Reuters poll. Bank Indonesia (BI) has set a target range for inflation between 1.5 per cent and 3.5 per cent.
8月份的總體通貨膨脹率是自2022年2月以來的最低水平，與路透社民意調查的預測相符。印度尼西亞銀行（BI）將通貨膨脹率的目標區間設定在1.5％至3.5％之間。
Meanwhile, the annual core inflation rate inched up to 2.02 per cent in August, compared to 1.95 per cent in the previous month, slightly exceeding the poll's forecast of 1.98 per cent.
同時，8月份的年度核心通貨膨脹率小幅上升至2.02％，而上個月爲1.95％，略高於民意調查預測的1.98％。
Inflation in Southeast Asia's largest economy has stayed within the central bank's target range since mid-last year. However, BI has maintained relatively high-interest rates, focusing on stabilising the rupiah and navigating global market volatility. Governor Perry Warjiyo has indicated that currency stability is the current policy focus, but he also noted that there could be room for monetary policy easing to stimulate economic growth in the coming quarter.
自去年年中以來，東南亞最大經濟體的通貨膨脹率一直保持在央行的目標區間內。但是，BI一直維持相對較高的利率，專注於穩定印尼盾和應對全球市場波動。州長佩裏·瓦爾吉約表示，貨幣穩定是當前的政策重點，但他也指出，下個季度可能有放鬆貨幣政策以刺激經濟增長的空間。
