There are two credit channels that influence the transmission of monetary policy from finance to the real sector, namely bank credit channels that are more concerned with the behavior of banks that are more selective in credit selection because of asymmetric information.This study aims to determine the effect of credit that consists of investment credit, working capital credit and consumption credit to the inflation rate through Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Indonesia.

Based on the results of the research, simultaneous credit has a positive and significant effect on inflation through GDP and partially found that investment credit and working capital credit have positive and significant effect to inflation through GDP, while consumption credit has positive and insignificant effect.
