On Tuesday 4 February 2025, Indonesia Investments released the January 2025 edition of its monthly report. This report discusses key political, economic and social developments that unfolded in Indonesia in the month of January 2025.
The central bank of Indonesia (Bank Indonesia) made a surprising move on Wednesday (15 January 2025) by cutting its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 5.75 percent.
As expected, Indonesian inflation remained relatively low in December 2024, at 0.44 percent month-on-month (m/m), amid the year-end holiday season (Christmas and New Year celebrations).
On Friday 03 January 2025, Indonesia Investments released the December 2024 edition of its monthly report. The report presents a selection of subjects (related to the economy and politics of Indonesia) that were relevant in December 2024.
After a six-month period of either deflation or very low inflation (all driven by easing food prices), the month of November finally brought some more significant inflation to Indonesia as we approach the end of 2024 (meaning: arrival of the festive season).
Between May and September 2024, Indonesia had experienced a (remarkable) five-month deflation streak, driven by contracting food prices. And so, we were certainly quite interested in the latest consumer price index (CPI) data that were released by the Statistical Office of Indonesia (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS) on 1 November 2024.
Something very unusual is happening in Indonesia (something we normally only see during crises). The latest consumer price index data released by the Statistical Office of Indonesia (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS) show that Indonesia experienced its fifth consecutive month of deflation in September 2024.
On Friday 4 October 2024 Indonesia Investments released the September 2024 edition of its monthly report. The report discusses a range of economic, political and social topics to assess the state of the Indonesian economy.
Last month it was remarkable that Indonesia experienced three straight months of inflation (this rarely happens unless a crisis occurs). Considering August is typically a month without inflationary pressures this streak was expected to continue. Indeed, the Statistical Office (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS) confirmed that deflation was 0.03 percent month-on-month (m/m) in August 2024.
On Friday 6 September 2024 Indonesia Investments released the August 2024 edition of its monthly report. This report discusses various economic, political and social topics that were relevant (to Indonesia) in the month of August 2024.

After continuously reaching new record-high levels last week, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IHSG) finally had to give up some of its gain and closed 1.04 percent lower. Declining Asian stock markets (excluding Japan's main index) and fears that the IHSG had already reached a (too) high level impacted on today's result. Market participants, who recently confirmed good corporate annual results of many companies by buying, now engaged in profit taking.
Apparently, yesterday's decline was only a small stumbling block for the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IHSG). Indonesia's main indicator rebounded strongly after feeling the effects of stronger American stock indices that were positively influenced by a rise in Housing Index and Consumer Confidence. Moreover, the IHSG accelerated its gain after Asian stock markets and the opening of Europe's stock indices were positive.
