As a result, this approach, together with the support of BPS data, plays a major role in maintaining the stability of Indonesia's inflation, which is currently maintained at 2.1 percent, one of the lowest in the world. "Intervention from various ministries/institutions, such as the Logistics Agency (Bulog), Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Trade, plays a very important role in controlling inflation in the regions," he said . 

Meanwhile, The Acting Head of BPS, Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, stated that providing quality statistical data was the focus of BPS regarding the HSN warning. "Quality statistical data has a key and important role in achieving the big goals of the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision," he said. Therefore, he emphasized the important role of central and regional governments, the private sector, academics and the general public. "Collaboration of all actors in the national statistical system is important to strengthen various key aspects," said Amalia. These aspects include organizing statistics, optimizing data sources, utilizing data, and increasing statistical literacy. According to him, the law emphasizes the importance of statistics as an instrument in planning, implementing and evaluating national development. (Rls/Btnc)
