Indonesia's inflation rate ticked upwards slightly in December 2025, closing the year at 2.92%, a modest rise from November's rate of 2.72%. Data released on January 5, 2026, indicated this year-over-year increase, reflecting changes that policymakers and citizens are watching closely as global economic uncertainties continue to pose challenges.

This incremental change from the previous month's figure suggests underlying pressures that may be at play in Southeast Asia's largest economy. While Indonesia’s inflation remains relatively tame compared to some global counterparts, the increase can act as a barometer for spending power and economic stability in the nation. Analysts are keenly observing the factors driving this upward tick, from food prices to energy costs, as well as potential policy responses from the government.

As 2026 begins, stakeholders will continue to monitor inflationary trends, considering their implications for business confidence, consumer behavior, and overall economic growth within Indonesia. A continued focus on inflation control will be critical for maintaining economic momentum and protecting the purchasing power of Indonesian consumers.
