Bali Inflation Reached 3.79 Percent in September 2026

Denpasar — Bali’s annual inflation reached 3.79 percent in September 2026, up from 3.45 percent in August, while monthly inflation was 0.32 percent, according to figures reported on Oct. 6.

The change comes as price pressures varied across the province’s consumer-price monitoring areas. Tabanan recorded the highest annual rate at 4.54 percent, followed by Badung at 3.95 percent, Singaraja at 3.87 percent and Denpasar at 3.42 percent.

Why Bali’s inflation spread matters to foreign residents and visitors

For foreigners living in Bali, the figures describe a broad change in local prices rather than a single provincewide increase. The annual measure compares September 2026 with September 2025, while the monthly figure captures the movement from August to September. Those measures can affect household budgets, accommodation costs, food purchases and other daily expenses differently.

Denpasar remained below the 3.5 percent upper limit of the national inflation target, while the other three listed areas exceeded it. Tabanan’s 4.54 percent rate was the highest among the areas reported, and Badung’s 3.95 percent rate was followed by Singaraja’s 3.87 percent.

The regional breakdown also shows why the Bali figure should not be read as an identical price change everywhere. A foreign resident in Tabanan faced a different annual inflation environment from one in Denpasar, even though both figures form part of the provincial result. The monthly rate of 0.32 percent provides a shorter-term view and was lower than the annual measure.

The figures were reported in coverage citing Bali’s consumer-price data and the provincial inflation discussion. The reports identify supply, purchasing power and agricultural welfare as issues in the broader response to inflation, but the September breakdown itself records the rates rather than establishing a single cause for every regional difference.
