JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has various efforts to anticipate and control inflation ahead of the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year celebrations. This was stated in a meeting of the Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) and the DKI Jakarta Food Security Task Force.

Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono said the TPID meeting was to ensure the supply and stable price of food needs for Jakarta residents. He also admitted that there had been an increase in the price of a number of foodstuffs.

"Earlier, we held a coordination meeting on TPID to discuss the development of regional inflation. Of course, there are several basic commodities that have increased, such as eggs and rice, but are not significant. Food stocks are in a safety condition and are quite stable, everything is well maintained," said Heru, Tuesday, December 20.

The two food commodities that have experienced an increase in prices in Jakarta are chicken eggs and IR III medium rice. The price of chicken eggs has increased due to the increase in the price of animal feed. The increase in prices was also triggered by an increase in demand ahead of Christmas 2022 and the use of eggs as routine social assistance.

Meanwhile, IR III medium rice has increased since October 2022. The increase was due to the high price of milled dry grain at the milling level due to the increase in rice production costs and limited supply because it had not yet entered the rice harvest season.

He explained at the meeting, various efforts in controlling inflation, as well as anticipating the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year celebrations, namely:

1. Prognosis of food availability and needs. Currently, the prognosis of availability and strategic food needs in December 2022 - January 2023 is at a fairly safe level.
