I have checked the price of eggs, it is normal. The price of shallot is also still under control around Rp40,000 per kilogram. So do chillies. For rice, some stalls already received rice from state-owned logistics company Bulog of 5 kilograms for Rp49,000 per kilo. So that the selling price will be under Rp10,000 per kilo.<\/p>\n

\nAre the quality good, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nThey are in good quality. The rice is good.<\/p>\n
\nHow about cooking oil, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nCooking oil price is at Rp14,000. It is still normal.<\/p>\n
\nHow long the price stability could last, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nThe governors, regents, mayors, all of them will inspect the markets regularly. The most important thing is to control the micro areas, not only the macro. Every week we will check the inflation rate in each regency\/city and province, how much the inflation is, who is the highest, who is the lowest, we are opening all data. So that everyone must be working hard, competing to reduce inflation.<\/p>\n
\nAll data is accessible, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nYes.<\/p>\n
\nSir, any sanctions imposed by the Central Government for regions that cannot maintain the stocks of rice and cooking oil, and with high inflation rate?<\/p>\n
\nNo. Regions with good inflation rate will be granted incentives from Ministry of Finance worth Rp15 billion, if I am not mistaken.<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, how about regions which still cannot reach the target?<\/p>\n
\nThey must be embarassed and want to lower it (the inflation).<\/p>\n
\nAny sanctions, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nNot yet. But at least, they will be embarassed since the public can see the data. Only a few regions have inflation rate of 8-9 percent. Most regions are lower than that.<\/p>\n
\nCooking oil and rice stocks are uncertain. Sometimes they are available and sometimes they are not. Any comments, Sir?<\/p>\n
\nOur country’s geographical area is quite challenging, there are 514 regencies\/cities in around 17,000 islands. The distribution process is hard, sometimes it is disrupted due to bad weather or road conditions. That\u2019s why infrastructure is pivotal.<\/p>\n
