TANGERANG Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian appreciated the performance of the Tangerang City Government (Pemkot) which recorded proud achievements in controlling inflation at the end of 2024.

During his working visit, Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian who was accompanied by Acting (Pj) Mayor of Tangerang Nurdin and Acting Governor of Banten Ucok Abdulrauf and the Tangerang City Forkopimda ranks, Friday (3/1/25), visited the Tanah Tinggi Main Market, Tangerang City to ensure prices did not burden the community.

As a result, Minister of Home Affairs Tito stated, in Tangerang City according to BPS data, the report of Acting Mayor of Tangerang Nurdin and data found in the field are relatively the same. Tangerang City as one of the sample areas, proves that inflation is low or almost the same as national data.

"The commodity stock in Tangerang City is all sufficient. What happened in Tangerang City, my assumption is why it is stable, because many residents of Tangerang City are on vacation out of town. So, the buyers are relatively stable, the stock is large and safe, so prices are classified as stable or quickly return to normal at this Nataru moment," said Tito.

He also explained that Tangerang City is a sample of the Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs in terms of inflation figures. "After seeing the exposure of the Acting Mayor at the office, the numbers in the market and BPS data are almost the same and are also the same as nationally," he explained.

The city of Tangerang is great, because it has good data related to stocks, needs and commodity reserves that are calculated as a surplus. This data turns out to be from the calculation of market numbers, factories, agents to warehouses throughout the city of Tangerang. In conclusion, Tangerang City is good and relatively stable," he added.

Meanwhile, Acting Mayor of Tangerang Nurdin stated, Tangerang City succeeded in proving directly to the Indonesian Minister of Home Affairs, that the data released, presented and the data in the market were the same.

"Alhamdulillah, Tangerang City is one of the lowest inflationary areas with a figure of 1.8 percent and is still within the national radius," said Nurdin.

Nurdin revealed that the Tangerang City Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) has carried out a series of strategic steps. Starting from ensuring supply availability, smooth distribution, increasing people's purchasing power, effective communication to price affordability.

The city of Tangerang will continue to ensure that food stocks in Tangerang City are safe and the prices being explored are controlled for the community. We want to make sure that inflation in Tangerang City continues to be controlled by the existence of a wholesale market and a series of traditional markets in Tangerang City," he said.

Controlling this Effective Inflation, continued Nurdin, even the Minister of Home Affairs said that this could be adopted by other regions in Indonesia.
