JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Indonesia’s central bank (Bank Indonesia) in its Annual Budget Plan has set the target of bringing down the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation to a level of 3.61 percent year on year (YoY) in 2023.

According to BI’s estimates, Indonesia’s CPI inflation reached 6.11 percent YoY as of Nov. 3.
"Our target is to control inflation immediately next year, so we really need an increase in the benchmark interest rate," BI Governor Perry Warjiyo said during a meeting with Commission XI of the House of Representatives on Monday, Nov. 21.

Next year, the central bank will also continue to control the rupiah exchange rate to make it more stable and even strengthen it to a level of 15,070 rupiahs ($0.96) per US dollar, he said.
These targets indicate that economic growth is likely to be slower next year and will be capped at 4.37 percent yoy compared to the forecast of 5.12 percent for this year.
