JAKARTA, July 1 (Reuters) – Indonesia’s annual inflation rate accelerated to 3.34% in June from 3.08% the previous month, data showed on Wednesday, higher than the median forecast in a Reuters poll and moving closer to the top end of the central bank’s target range.
The poll had expected an inflation rate of 3.20%. Bank Indonesia targets inflation within a range of 1.5% to 3.5%.
The statistics bureau will release June core inflation and May trade data later on Wednesday.
