KANIGARAN - Kepala Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Kota Probolinggo Heri Sulistyo, saat rilis di Radio Suara Kota, Selasa (15/12), mengungkapkan bahwa bulan November 2020 ini mencatat Indeks Harga Konsumen (IHK) atau inflasi, terjadi pada sektor komoditas makanan, minuman dan tembakau sebesar 1,71 persen.
Ia mengatakan, dari 11 kelompok pengeluaran tercatat 5 diantaranya mengalami inflasi tertinggi yakni kelompok makanan, minuman dan tembakau, kelompok perumahan, air, listrik dan bahan bakar rumah tangga, dan kelompok perlengkapan, peralatan dan pemeliharaan rutin rumah tangga, kelompok kesehatan, kelompok penyediaan makanan dan minuman/restoran.
“Satu kelompok pengeluaran mengalami penurunan harga, yakni kelompok perawatan pribadi dan jasa lainnya. Sedangkan indeks sisanya ada kelompok pengeluaran tidak mengalami perubahan atau tetap. Yaitu, kelompok pakaian dan alas kaki, dan kelompok transportasi,” ujarnya.
Kenaikan harga daging ayam ras menjadi pemicunya, pada November 2020. Sehingga laju inflasi naik dari 0,15 persen pada bulan lalu menjadi sebesar 0,41 persen di bulan ini. ”Selain itu ada komoditi lain seperti bawang merah dan cabe rawit,” ungkap Heri.
Menanggapi capaian angka inflasi itu, Analis Bank Indonesia (BI) Malang Gustian Widyaningrum yang dihubungi via sambungan telpon menyampaikan, bahwa potensi daya beli masyarakat cenderung mengalami perbaikan, setelah beberapa waktu lalu secara nasional sudah memasuki pasar teknis.
Berada di posisi inflasi dua bulan berturut-turut, menurut perempuan yang akrab disapa Dian itu, bisa menjadi signal atau potensi adanya perbaikan dari pertumbuhan ekonomi di Kota Probolinggo.
Kedepan, katanya, Pemkot dalam hal ini Tim Pengendalian Inflasi Daerah (TPID) Kota Probolinggo juga harus fokus pada momen hari besar keagamaan dan tahun baru. Dimana potensi kenaikan yang harus diwaspadai selain pada komoditas yang sekarang menjadi andil inflasi, ada pada segi transportasi seperti tarif angkutan dan pemberlakuan cukai rokok yang akan berimbas pada laju pertumbuhan inflasi di Kota Probolinggo, di bulan yang akan datang, dengan tetap berpedoman pada kebijakan 4 K.
Kebijakan tersebut termasuk untuk mengantisipasi tantangan yang dapat memengaruhi harga makanan atau bahan makanan. Misalnya saja gangguan cuaca akibat kemarau yang lebih panjang serta ketersediaan pangan antar waktu dan antar wilayah.
“Pedoman empat K, yakni Keterjangkauan Harga, Ketersediaan Pasokan, Kelancaran Distribusi, dan Komunikasi Efektif, harus tetap dijaga, sehingga pasokan juga relatif terjaga,” tandasnya.
Sementara itu, Sekda Kota Probolinggo drg Ninik Ira Wibawati melihat, memasuki tri wulan ke empat di tahun 2020, geliat ekonomi di Kota Seribu Taman mulai meningkat. Di Kota Probolinggo sendiri, lanjutnya, meskipun angka inflasi naik dari bulan lalu, namun hal itu masih dirasa aman dan cukup terkendali.
“Ini tak hanya terjadi di Kota Probolinggo, namun saya rasa juga di semua daerah. Namun sejauh ini masih terbilang aman, dan cukup terkendali,” katanya.
Ninik menambahkan, di tengah situasi kondisi pandemi COVID-19 seperti saat ini, peran serta masyarakat begitu penting dilakukan. Dengan tetap menerapkan protokol kesehatan secara ketat, menjaga jarak, sering mencuci tangan dengan sabun pada air mengalir dan menggunakan masker.
“Bahkan, hasil evaluasi rapat satgas covid pada minggu kemarin menyebutkan, operasi yustisi sekarang, tak hanya menerapkan sanksi sosial maupun denda. Tetapi masyarakat yang kedapatan tidak patuh, akan langsung dijaring untuk (menjalani) tes swab, supaya memperhatikan betul bahaya virus ini sekaligus agar ada efek jera,” tandasnya. (Sonea)
Head of the Probolinggo City’s Statistics Indonesia (BPS) Heri Sulistyo, during a talk show at the Suara Kota Radio FM on Tuesday (15/12), revealed that inflation has been occurred in November 2020, as food, beverage, and tobacco had all experienced inflation by 1.71 percent.
He said, of the 11 expenditure groups, 5 of them experienced the highest inflation, namely the food, beverage, and tobacco group, the housing, water, electricity, and household fuel group, and the household equipment, equipment, and routine maintenance group, the health group, the food supply group, and drinks/restaurants.
"One expenditure group experienced a decline in prices, namely personal care and other services group. The remaining index is for the expenditure group that does not change or remains constant. This includes clothing and footwear group and the transportation group,” he said.
The increase in broiler meat prices became the trigger, in November 2020, causing the inflation rate to rise from 0.15 percent last month to 0.41 percent this month. "Besides, there are other commodities such as shallots and cayenne pepper," said Heri.
Responding to the inflation rate, the Analyst of Bank Indonesia (BI) Malang, Gustian Widyaningrum, who was contacted via telephone, said that the purchasing power potential of the people tends to improve, as, on the national level, it had entered the technical market.
Experiencing inflation for two consecutive months, according to the woman who is familiarly called Dian, could be a signal or potential for improvement of economic growth in Probolinggo city.
In the future, she said, the city administration, in this case, the Regional Inflation Control Team (TPID) of Probolinggo City, must also focus on the moments of religious holidays and the new year, when the potential for an increase that must be watched out for in addition to commodities which are now contributing to inflation, is in terms of transportation such as transportation rates and the imposition of cigarette excise which will impact on the inflation growth rate in the city, in the coming months, while still guided by the 4K policy.
This policy includes anticipating challenges that can affect the price of food or food materials. For example, weather disturbances due to longer droughts and food availability between times and between regions.
"The 4K guidelines, namely Price Affordability, Supply Availability, Smooth Distribution, and Effective Communication, must be maintained so that supplies are also relatively well maintained," she said.
Meanwhile, Regional Secretary of Probolinggo city drg. Ninik Ira Wibawati claims that entering the fourth quarter of 2020, economic activity in the city has begun to increase. Even though the inflation rate had increased from last month, it was still considered safe and quite under control.
"This is not only happening in Probolinggo city, but I think it is in all regions. But so far it is still relatively safe, and quite under control," she said.
Ninik added, amid the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, community participation is very important, by maintaining strict health protocols, maintaining distance, washing hands frequently with soap in running water, and wearing masks.
"In fact, the results of the evaluation of the COVID task force meeting last week stated that Operation Yustisi now does not only apply social sanctions or fines. But people who are found to be disobedient will immediately be undergoing a swab test so that they pay close attention to the dangers of this virus at the same time so that there is a deterrent effect," she said.
