Acting Governor of West Sulawesi (Sulbar) Akmal Malik said inflation in West Sulawesi Province of 3.89 percent was the lowest inflation rate in Indonesia.
"The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) has released data on provincial inflation throughout Indonesia and West Sulawesi is the area with the lowest inflation of 3.89 percent," said Acting Governor of West Sulawesi, Akmal Malik in Mamuju, quoted from ANTARA, Friday, April 7.
He said the West Sulawesi government gave appreciation for the performance and success of the West Sulawesi Government's regional inflation control team (TPID) in controlling inflation in March 2023.
According to him, the success of reaching the lowest inflation rate is the result of TPID's performance and accuracy in reading the inflation trend that causes inflation in West Sulawesi.
"The lowest inflation achievement is also due to coordination with the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of West Sulawesi Province in providing input to the government regarding commodities experiencing inflation so that it is anticipated appropriately," he said.
He said that fish commodity inflation had occurred in a number of areas of West Sulawesi, but with specific steps inflation could be suppressed.
"The Fisheries Service of West Sulawesi Province in March supplied one ton of skipjack fish and one ton of kite fish to traders in the market, so that inflation in West Sulawesi could be suppressed," he said.
According to him, BPS Sulbar has also contributed positive performance, by providing price information, so that ahead of this year's Ramadan, the fish inflation also did not occur.
He hopes that the government in West Sulawesi Regency can also coordinate with BPS so that inflation can continue to be suppressed.
He hopes that the lowest inflation achieved by West Sulawesi can be maintained until Eid al-Fitr 1444 Hijri.
"Keep operating the market and hold a low-cost market for Ramadan and ahead of Eid al-Fitr, so that inflation does not occur," he said.
