From Achievements to Action: Central Java TPID Strengthens Synergy in Inflation Control

Magelang, jateng.bps.go.id — The Government of Jawa Tengah Province continues to strengthen synergy and coordination to maintain price stability and control regional inflation. This commitment was reaffirmed at the High-Level Meeting (HLM) of the Regional Inflation Control Team (Tim Pengendalian Inflasi Daerah/TPID) of Jawa Tengah Province and the Food Inflation Control Synergy (Sinergi Pengendalian Inflasi Pangan/SIGAP), held at the Official Residence of the Magelang Regent on Thursday, November 5.

The meeting was officially opened by the Governor of Jawa Tengah, Ahmad Luthfi. In his remarks, the Governor expressed appreciation for the performance of the Jawa Tengah TPID, which had been named the Best-Performing Provincial TPID at the national level in 2026.

He emphasized that inflation control must be translated into concrete actions, starting with ensuring adequate supply, maintaining smooth distribution, and monitoring price developments in markets. Local governments and all stakeholders must respond swiftly to anticipate potential price fluctuations and safeguard people's purchasing power.

The Head of BPS of Jawa Tengah Province, Dr. Ali Said, M.A., also attended the meeting. BPS's participation formed part of the efforts to strengthen inflation control synergy through the provision of accurate and reliable statistical data. Data on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and inflation produced by BPS serve as important instruments for the TPID to monitor price movements, identify commodities contributing to inflation, and formulate well-targeted control measures.

Through the HLM TPID and SIGAP collaboration, all stakeholders are expected to further strengthen coordination and cooperation. The achievement of the best-performing provincial TPID title is not an end in itself, but rather a motivation to continuously improve performance in maintaining price stability and protecting the purchasing power of the people of Jawa Tengah.
