JAKARTA - Tidore Islands City won an award from the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, for his achievements in being included in the top 3 Nomination of the Regency/City Region/Regency Inflation Control Team (TPID) for the Nusa Tenggara - Maluku - Papua (Nusamapua) Region 2024.

The award was given to TPID Tidore Islands City along with the presence of the Mayor of Tidore Islands Capt Ali Ibrahim during the 2024 National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) for Inflation Control which was officially opened by President Joko Widodo at the State Palace, Jakarta, Friday, June 14.

Ali conveyed that his presence at the National Coordination Meeting was a direct instruction from President Jokowi to regional heads, to maintain their good performance.

Joko Widodo is known to have instructed regional heads to continue to monitor the prices of food commodities in Tidore City.

"On these instructions, TPID and I went directly to the field and checked the prices of food needs. Do not let basic necessities rise," said Ali.

"Because our national inflation is 2.5 percent, for that I ask the TPID of Tidore Islands to maintain its performance in efforts to control inflation, we maintain the possibilities that will occur," he continued.

The Mayor of Tidore Islands for the two periods also expressed his appreciation to the TPID of Tidore Islands for its achievements in the top 3 nominations.

"Congratulations on this achievement, continue to be enthusiastic and improve performance, we maintain balance, lest price fluctuations be caused by various obstacles such as weather, one of which is the President's instructions to regional heads to continue to control inflation in the regions," Ali explained.

In addition, the Secretary of the Tidore City TPID, Nurlaila Yasin Islands, welcomed the award. He said he would continue to boost performance and innovation and collaboration with all stakeholders to control inflation.

"Thank you to the mayor, deputy mayor and regional secretary, as well as all members of the Tidore City TPID from the relevant OPD who have collaborated so that Tidore Islands can be included in the top 3 best TPID nominations," said Nurlaila.
