Indonesia's inflation to hit 8.2%

On the back of rising fuel prices.

According to Barclays, Indonesia’s inflation is pegged to hit 8.2% by year-end on the planned fuel price hikes.

Here's more:

Indonesia's growth-inflation trade-off looks set to worsen over the coming year as growth slows on the back of primarily weaker investment, some moderation in consumption and lacklustre exports. Our economists cut their growth forecasts by 50bp to 5.8% for 2013 and by 60bp to 5.8% for 2014.

The team believes BI needs to tighten preemptively to ensure that inflation expectations do not become unhinged or the ultimate growth sacrifice would likely be larger. The recent interest rate hikes are steps in the right direction. However, our economists believe more is needed on interest rate hikes, fuel price reform and increased FX flexibility to take away the latent overhang risk of a sharp move higher in USD/IDR.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
