Acting Mayor of Malang Dr. Ir. Wahyu Hidayat, MM when opening the coordination meeting reminded the importance of maintaining consistency and vigilance in curbing the rate of inflation related to the possibility of increasing prices of several commodities. Wahyu said that the Malang City Government together with the Malang City TPID have prepared a strategy to control the rate of inflation, including by conducting inter-regional cooperation (KAD).

"Of course there are several strategies to be able to control the rate of inflation. Including yesterday we have agreed to implement KAD with several areas around Malang City to intervene in several commodities whose prices are likely to increase," he explained.

It was mentioned that commodities that need to be watched out for are rice, beef and also corn. Wahyu said several strategies have been determined in preventing price increases for these commodities, including for rice commodities, the Malang City Government will distribute Stability of Food Price Supply (SPHP) rice in the near future in Klojen and Blimbing Districts.

"So we provide subsidies. Especially shipping subsidies from Bulog to stores. So, we sell the price not far from Bulog. But what is clear is that we will be flooded and definitely cheaper than distributors," said Wahyu.

The Acting Mayor of Malang has also asked the Regional Public Company (Perumda) Tugu Aneka Usaha (Tunas) to conduct KAD as a form of intervention before the prices of commodities such as beef and corn soar.

"We have asked Perumda TUNAS to cooperate with the distribution areas so that they can maintain the stock of beef. Likewise with corn. In addition, we also anticipate with Warung Press Inflation Mbois Ilakes," he added.
