At the end of July, Wednesday (31/07/2024), the BPS-Statistics of Sibolga filled the Mozaik Indonesia RRI Sibolga Pro 1 event from 15.00 to 16.00 WIB. This event is routinely held as a follow-up to the Joint Agreement between RRI Sibolga and BPS-Statistics of Sibolga at the beginning of the year. The theme raised was "Market Phenomena and Conditions July 2024". The event was hosted by Edi Suheri as the host with resource persons Sabar Alberto Harianja, Head of BPS-Statistics of Sibolga and Walter Situmeang, Head of the BPS-Statistics of Sibolga Price Statistics Team and accompanied by Fahri Azis Sibagariang, STIS Polstat Internship Student, and Frans Leonardo, PKL Student from SMKN 1 Sibolga.
This time, Mozaik Indonesia provides information and education to listeners and Data Friends of RRI Sibolga regarding the Phenomenon and Market Conditions in July 2024. The condition of Sibolga City in June 2024 was recorded as experiencing monthly inflation of 0.12%, annual inflation of 3.75%, and cumulative January-June 2024 or semester 1 2024 of 2.84%. The monthly inflation figure, 0.12 percent, is in line with expectations, but the annual inflation figure (comparison of June 2024 CPI to July 2024 CPI) of 3.75 percent has exceeded the government's target which is in the range of 1.5 to 3.5 percent. This figure is certainly a warning for the Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) in its task of monitoring and controlling commodity prices in Sibolga.
The inflation figure itself is calculated based on recording price movements in the market, in accordance with the provisions that have been set nationally. Some important things in this recording, for example the recording is carried out on the same day, the same time, the same respondents, and the same commodity/quality.
At the end of the dialogue, information was given regarding the phenomenon of monitoring results in the market, namely a significant decrease in prices due to increased stock and reduced demand. This decrease in demand is indicated because people are more focused on facing the new school year for children's education. Several commodities that have decreased in price, for example red chilies, shallots, tomatoes, and several types of fish. Horas, Oii Dusanak.
