Core inflation in March 2013 was up 0.13 percent or 4.21 percent (year-on-year), still within the target range of 4.5 percent (plus or minus one) of Indonesia's Central Bank.

The recent high prices of garlic and chili (brought on due to weak domestic harvests in combination with a lack of imports) made their impact. Other matters that influenced Indonesia's higher inflation rate were the gradual implementation of electricity tariffs (which will continue throughout 2013) as well as the 44 percent increase in minimum wages in Jakarta at the start of this year.
