Inflation in October is expected to be relatively high due to the impact of higher electricity tariffs.

On Friday (16/10), an advisor of president-elect Joko Widodo said that Widodo may raise prices of subsidized gasoline and diesel by about 50 percent in November 2014. This move is expected to cause accelerated inflation in November, December and January 2015.
