Indonesia’s trade surplus was forecast to widen to about $630 million in August, while September headline inflation was expected to increase to 3.30% from 3.19%. A Reuters poll conducted from Sept. 25 to Sept. 29 found economists saw export growth slowing to 4.30% from 6.05% in July, while import growth accelerated to 31.14% from 27.02%. The July surplus was about $130 million, following deficits in May and June and ending a roughly six-year run of monthly surpluses. September inflation was projected to remain within the central bank’s 1.5%–3.5% target range, while core inflation (underlying price growth excluding volatile items) was forecast at 2.91%, little changed from 2.92% in August.
