Monday (5/2/2024), the Price, Finance and Tourism Statistics Team attended the 2024 Regional Inflation Control Coordination Virtually in the Oku Regency Government Vidcon 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 discussed the evaluation of developments in commodity prices that influence inflation. Based on the Price Development Index (IPH) for the 1st week of January 2024, commodities contributing to the increase in IPH on Sumatra Island are dominated by red chilies, purebred chicken meat and rice. It is hoped that all relevant agencies/ministries can anticipate price increases, such as cheap market movements, preventing crop failures, monitoring food supplies and prices as a consideration for policy making, etc.
