World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported29m ago
In July, regional statistics agencies in Indonesia reported deflation driven by abundant harvests and seasonal factors. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of West Java recorded a month-to-month deflation rate of 0.05 percent, attributing the downward price movement to the school holiday period affecting the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program alongside an oversupply from bountiful crop yields.
Simultaneously, the BPS branch in South Sulawesi documented a more pronounced regional deflation of 0.18 percent. Similar to West Java, this economic contraction was heavily influenced by the seasonal abundance of agricultural harvests, which increased supply and drove down local commodity prices during the period.
