Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo does not only monitor the prices of basic commodities ahead of Eid al-Fitr and Eid holidays during market operations at Johar Market, Semarang City. Ganjar began to meet the rising price of clothing.

In this place, Ganjar ensures that the prices of basic commodities tend to be stable despite the increase in garlic commodities. Previously, Rp. 28 thousand was now around Rp. 31 thousand. However, the price is below the reference price set by the Ministry of Agriculture of Rp. 32 thousand.

Ganjar also checked the price of clothing in the market. According to Ganjar, the atmosphere of Eid has started to feel even though it has been quite a long way to Eid al-Fitr.

Ganjar said that the prices of clothing had also increased.

"The clothes have increased. It feels like the atmosphere of Eid has started to exist. So this is quite good economic activity and we are deliberately entering traditional markets," said Ganjar in his statement, Friday, April 7.

Ganjar has promoted monitoring of commodities for basic needs and market operations to prevent regional inflation, in accordance with the direction of the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian in the Regional Inflation Control Coordination Coordination Meeting.

Ganjar hopes that this market operation can help maintain the stability of basic food prices ahead of Eid al-Fitr and Eid holidays.
