Government DIRECTOR of the Middle of Reform on Economics (Core) Mohammad Faisal responded to President Joko Widodo’s assertion which mentioned that Indonesia’s inflation in Could was 2.84% on an annual foundation (yr on yr/yoy) and was among the best on the earth. He emphasised {that a} nation’s inflation charge can’t be in contrast with different international locations in a sure interval.
“This isn’t apples to apples. Measuring inflation can’t be seen from one month and can’t be in comparison with different international locations as a result of inflation is seen as accumulative,” he mentioned to Media Indonesia, Friday (14/6).
Primarily based on information from the Central Statistics Company (BPS), inflation in Could 2024 which was 2.84% was decrease than inflation in April 2024 which was 3.0% yoy. Faisal mentioned that demand for items and companies normally declines with the top of Ramadan and Eid. This induced Indonesia’s inflation to say no. Nevertheless, different international locations might not have the identical second as what occurred in Indonesia.
“In Indonesia, in April, there was an Eid second which affected inflation in Could, however not all international locations had the identical second. It may very well be that inflation this month is nice, however not subsequent month, it can’t be generalized,” defined Faisal.

The federal government is requested to properly determine on each coverage that may have an effect on individuals’s buying energy.
“We’d like to concentrate on inflation brought on by costs regulated by the federal government. If there isn’t a good inflation management, will increase in gas and LPG gasoline can undermine individuals’s buying energy,” he concluded. (Z-6)
