President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo):
Here, I observe the prices are stable, good. Inflation is at 2.28 [percent] which is also very good. It is under control and I checked the price of rice is Rp54,000, – for 5 kilos, which is under control, as well. Only chili price that jumps from normal price of Rp40,000 per kilo to Rp70,000. This issue needs to be coped with, but in general the prices are good.
Reporter:
Is there a solution yet to reduce the prices of chili, Sir? Have you found any solution to reduce the prices of chili?
President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo):
Later, let’s ask the Governor, technical matters, okay. Thank you.
