Sukuk and Inflation Dynamics in Indonesia: A Time Series Linear Model Investigation by Laila M. Pimada, Titis Miranti

“…Employing a time series linear model (TSLM) with monthly data from January 2019 to March 2024, we investigate the relationship between sukuk outstanding and inflation (Consumer Price Index), controlling for industrial production, exchange rate, interest rate, and Composite Leading Indicator (CLI). Results reveal a significant positive relationship between sukuk and inflation, suggesting that increased sukuk outstanding is associated with higher inflation rates. …”
