JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung believes that the economic condition in Jakarta is still under control even though inflation in Jakarta in October 2025 month-to month (m-to-m) is higher than the national figure.

This was in response to the release of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) which recorded inflation in Jakarta in October 2025 of 0.31 percent. Meanwhile, inflation at the national level was 0.28 percent.

"Both our inflation and economic growth are under control," said Pramono when met by Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta, Tuesday, November 4.

Although monthly inflation is higher than nationally, Pramono emphasized that Jakarta's inflation in October 2025 year-to-year (yoy) was still 2.69 percent lower than the national figure which was at 2.86 percent.

"So, Jakarta for the increase in inflation is always below the national level, so it's still good. Jakarta is under control," he said.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta Provincial BPS recorded inflation in October 2025 (month-to-month) of 0.31 percent. The increase in the price of a number of household necessities, such as gold jewelry, red chilies, and rice, became the main contributor to monthly inflation in October 2025.

Head of DKI Jakarta BPS Nurul Hasanudin explained that the price development of various commodities in October 2025 generally showed an increase. The commodities that cause the most inflation are the increase in gold prices to red chilies.

"The dominant commodities contributed / contributed to m-to-m inflation in October 2025, including jewelry gold, red chilies, air transportation rates, academic / tertiary finance, broiler eggs, carrots, rice, masks, online 2-wheeled vehicle fares, and train fares," said Nurul, in his statement, Monday, November 3.

Meanwhile, a number of commodities have actually decreased prices, such as tomatoes, toll rates, male sports shoes, wet shrimp, avocado, papaya, tilapia, white mustard, long beans, and petai.

On an annual basis (year-on-year), Jakarta recorded inflation of 2.69 percent, with the Consumer Price Index (JCI) rising from 105.00 in October 2024 to 107.82 in October 2025. This figure also boosted year-to-date inflation (y-to-d) to 2.02 percent, an increase compared to the same period last year of 0.82 percent.

BPS noted that the largest annual price increase occurred in food, beverage, and tobacco groups, which rose 4.72 percent, followed by housing, water, electricity and household fuel groups by 3.25 percent, as well as groups of personal care and other services that jumped to 10.42 percent.
