JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo asked non-ministerial ministries and government agencies (K/L) to take care of inflation issues together, just like taking care of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Regarding inflation, once again I ask regularly at the same time, when we are working on COVID-19 matters, everyone can work together, work together. We also hope that we can gang up on inflation matters together," said Jokowi when delivering his introductory speech at the Plenary Cabinet Session on the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) at the State Palace, Jakarta, Antara, Monday, January 16.
He emphasized that inflation in 2023 should be suppressed as much as possible below 5 percent. According to Jokowi, after conducting a review of various markets, he saw that there was a price stability of basic necessities so that there was an opportunity to suppress inflation.
"I see that opportunity is very easy if done together. Just like when we finished the COVID-19 pandemic, it happened in our country," he said.
