Jakarta (B2B) - Bank Indonesia (BI) menilai deflasi April 2014 yang menurut Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) sebesar 0,02% secara umum masih sesuai dengan ekspektasi.
"Secara umum sesuai ekpekstasi bahwa ada deflasi di bulan April karena ini memang masa panen," kata Deputi Gubernur Senior Bank Indonesia (BI) Mirza Adityaswara di Jakarta, Jumat.
Mirza mengatakan kendati masa panen menyumbang deflasi April namun ada faktor lain yang harus perhatikan yakni potensi pengaruh El Nino terhadap produksi pangan.
"Jadi akhir tahun ini kami masih perkirakan inflasi di sekitaran lima persen," kata Mirza.
Sementara inflasi tahun kalender Januari-April 2014 tercatat 1,39% dan inflasi secara tahunan (yoy) mencapai 7,25%.
