JAKARTA - The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded DKI Jakarta's annual inflation (y-on-y) in April 2026 at 2.12 percent. Then, and the y-to-d inflation rate was 1.12 percent.

Head of BPS DKI Jakarta Province Kadarmanto said that inflation was reflected in the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
"In April 2026, there was a y-on-y inflation of 2.12 percent, or an increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from 107.40 in April 2025 to 109.68 in April 2026," Kadarmanto said in a statement, Tuesday, May 5.

"In terms of m-to-m, in April 2026 DKI Jakarta experienced inflation of 0.21 percent, lower than April 2025 which recorded inflation of 1.44 percent," he said.
Annual inflation pressure comes from price increases in almost all spending groups. The personal care and other services group recorded the highest increase, followed by food, beverages, and tobacco, and education.
A number of commodities are recorded as the main contributors to inflation, including gold jewelry, broiler chicken meat, air transportation, rice, cooking oil, to online motorcycle taxi fares and education costs.
On the other hand, some commodities actually hold the inflation rate. Red onions, garlic, red chilies, to red chilies have experienced a year-on-year price decline.
For monthly inflation, price increases were triggered by air transportation rates, rice, cooking oil, and gasoline. In addition, commodities such as finished food, laptops, and household supplies also contributed to inflation.
"Meanwhile, in terms of m-to-m, there was an inflation of 0.21 percent with the dominant commodities contributing to inflation, including air transportation, rice, and cooking oil," explained Kadarmanto.
However, this pressure was held back by the decline in the prices of a number of food items such as broiler chicken, broiler chicken eggs, chili, and vegetables.
BPS also noted that the personal care and other services group contributed the largest annual inflation with a share of 0.82 percent, followed by food, beverages, and tobacco at 0.45 percent and transportation at 0.22 percent.
