Inflation is a crucial issue for a development country such as Indonesia. To solve the problem of inflation, Bank Indonesia as the monetary policy actors trying to adopt inflation targeting system. Every year Bank Indonesia announced its inflation target with the goal of keeping actual inflation will also lead there. However, the results obtained are less appropriate expectations for Bank Indonesia's inflation target is often off the mark. It is interesting to discuss the actual extent of the inflation target can affect the rate of inflation. Many disagreements related to it. This study wanted to reveal how the influence of the inflation target to actual inflation rate, especially in Indonesia. The method used is multiple linear regression. In addition to the inflation target, there are other variables to be studied its effect on the rate of actual inflation, ie inflation earlier period, inflation expectations and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The results showed that previous periods of inflation, inflation expectations and GDP significantly influence the rate of inflation. In contrast, Bank Indonesia's inflation target does not significantly influence the rate of inflation in Indonesia. This can happen due to the lack of credibility of Bank Indonesia in front of Indonesian, especially in the application of inflation targeting.
