Indonesia’s retail sales increased 3.4% yoy in March 2026, easing from a 6.5% rise in the prior month and marking the weakest growth since June 2025, as post-festive normalization and persistent cost pressures weighed on consumer spending.

Meanwhile, sales dropped for clothing (-2.4% vs 4.9%), other household appliances (-3.5% vs 0.5%), and information & communication equipment (-26.4% vs -28.3%). In contrast, spending strengthened for automotive parts and accessories (15.5% vs 13.1%) and cultural and recreational goods (14.8% vs 10.1%). Sales of automotive fuel rebounded, rising 2.1% after a 9.3% drop in February. On a monthly basis, retail sales surged 10.3%, accelerating sharply from a 4.1% rise in February and posting the strongest gain in a year. Looking ahead, retail activity is expected to soften amid higher non-subsidized fuel prices that pressure household purchasing power. source: Bank Indonesia
