Regional Inflation Control Coordination Meeting

Monday (15/01/2024) BPS OKU Regency attended a Virtual Coordination Meeting on Inflation Control in the Regions in 2023 held in the Ogan Komering Ulu Regency Government Video Conference Room. This routine meeting is held every Monday and is attended by the Head of the relevant Department/OPD or their representative. The speakers for this meeting came from various agencies such as BPS RI, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Agriculture, BULOG, Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Indonesia, POLRI, and other related parties.

This meeting, chaired by the Inspector General of the Ministry of Home Affairs, discussed the evaluation of commodity price developments that influence inflation. Based on the Price Development Index for the 2nd week of January 2024, the commodities that contributed the most to the increase in IPH were shallots, garlic, purebred chicken meat, and several others. It is hoped that all relevant agencies/ministries can anticipate price increases such as smooth imports of animal feed (corn), pay attention to commodity stocks in BULOG, and so on.
