Indonesia's inflation dipped to 5.57%

Highest increase on property and fuel group.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, the month of April saw a deflation of 0.1%, bringing yearly inflation to 5.57%, down from 5.90% a month earlier.

Here's more:

The deflation was contributed by falling price level at food stuff (-0.80%) and clothing (-1.13%). Other group reported inflation, with the highest increase reported at the housing, water, electricity, and fuel group (0.41%).

Core inflation also decelerated, with April reading of 4.12% compared to 4.21% in March. Indonesia’s export was flat on a monthly basis in March 2013 at USD15.0b, with oil and gas export surged 13% MoM while non oil and gas export declined by 3% MoM. This brings 1Q13 export to USD45.4b, 6% YoY lower compared to corresponding figure last year.

Indonesia had a trade surplus in March, as import came at USD14.7b, a marked decline (-4% MoM) from February figure due to the decline in non oil and gas import (-6% MoM). 1Q13 import was down 0.6% YoY to USD45.5b, but oil and gas import during the period actually climbed by 8% YoY to USD11.3b.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
