Indonesia's Inflation Accelerated to 3.34% in Jun-26

Indonesia's annual inflation accelerated to 3.34% YoY in Jun-26, up from 3.08% in May-26, exceeding market expectations of 3.2% and marking the highest level since Mar-26. Inflation remained within Bank Indonesia's 1.5%–3.5% target range, supported by broad-based price increases across most expenditure categories, particularly transportation (4.57% vs. 2.30% in May), housing (1.04% vs. 1.00%), and food (4.67% vs. 4.94%). Core inflation accelerated to 2.76%, the highest level in 38 months, from 2.59% in May, indicating stronger underlying price pressures. On a monthly basis, CPI rose 0.44% MoM, faster than 0.28% in May and above the consensus estimate of 0.30%, representing the strongest monthly increase since Feb-26. (Trading Economics)

Bank Indonesia (BI) Absorbed IDR 15 tn in SRBI Auction, Shifted Allocation to Longer Tenors

BI absorbed IDR 15 tn in its SRBI auction on 01 Jul-26, while shifting issuance toward longer maturities amid persistent global uncertainty and rupiah volatility. Allocation for the 12-month tenor increased to IDR 13.5 tn from IDR 8.85 tn in the previous auction, whereas the 6-month tenor declined sharply to IDR 600 bn from IDR 4.35 tn. The move suggests BI is not only managing liquidity absorption but also extending the duration of funds retained within the financial system to mitigate risks from capital flow volatility. Auction yields declined across all tenors, with 6-month SRBI at 7.30% (vs. 7.35%), 9-month at 7.44% (vs. 7.54%), and 12-month at 7.69% (vs. 7.70%), remaining above the 1-year government bond yield of 7.29%.
