JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia’s consumer price index in April rose 4.33% annually, data from the statistics bureau showed on Tuesday, slowing from 4.97% in March.
The annual inflation came slightly below the 4.39% predicted in a Reuters poll. On a monthly basis, the consumer price index rose 0.33%, compared with a 0.37% forecast and a 0.18% increase a month earlier. The bureau is due to release core inflation figures later on Tuesday.
