#Indonesia's consumer price index fell 0.09% year-on-year in February, the first deflation since March 2000, due to discounted #electricity #tariffs. Lower food prices also contributed. #Inflation is expected to rise again in March as discounts end. Nikkei Asia https://lnkd.in/eJRDj4zY

To the amazing women who make up this vast and beautiful world, THANK YOU! While there are many uncertainties throughout the communities, states, and countries that we all live within - there is one thing that I know for sure - we are STRONGER together. This strength that we share is not loud or boastful, rather it is a silent power that unifies, connects, and empowers us. As the women of this world continue to lift, support, promote, inspire, and grow with each other, we will see an expanded course, that magnifies our impact exponentially and ensures - even in the difficult times (personally or professionally) - darkness will never overtake our light. On this, International Women’s Day, and always, may we all be reminded, “Women, whether subtly or vociferously, have always been a tremendous power in the destiny of the world." - Eleanor Roosevelt Let’s keep shining together! The world needs us! Happy International Women's Day! With Love & Best Wishes, Alexian Wines, MBA Chief Operating Officer, BowerGroupAsia #internationalwomensday #IWD #IWD2025 #authenticleadership #strongertogether #powerful
