JAKARTA: Indonesian Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro said he expected inflation to be between 4.5 and 5 percent in 2015.
For this year, Indonesian’s central bank has estimated an annual inflation rate of 7.9 percent.
Some prices spiked after the government in mid-November hiked fuel prices by more than 30 percent to cut Indonesia’s budget deficit and make money available for other uses than fuel subsidies.
