Regional Inflation Control Coordination Meeting

Monday (22/01/2024), BPS OKU Regency attended a Virtual Coordination Meeting on Inflation Control in the Region 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, Presidential Staff Office, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Agriculture, BULOG, Indonesian Prosecutor's Office. POLRI, etc. This meeting, chaired by the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian, discussed the evaluation of developments in commodity prices that influence inflation. Based on the Price Development Index for the third week of January 2024, the commodities that contributed the most to the increase in IPH were the same as in the second week, namely shallots, garlic, purebred chicken meat and several other commodities.

In this third week, OKU Regency was included in the 10 districts that experienced the highest increase in garlic prices. It is hoped that all relevant agencies/ministries can anticipate price increases, such as cheap market movements, taking into account supplies of corn for animal feed, distribution from districts that have excess commodities to districts that lack them with the help of transportation subsidies.
