50% Electricity Tariff Discount is the Main Factor in Controlling Inflation Rate – January 2025

BPS Kota Metro has released the inflation data for January 2025, revealing that Metro Municipality experienced a deflation of 0.28 percent month-to-month. However, some commodities saw price increases, such as Red Chili and Bird's Eye Chili, contributing to inflation by 0.49 percent and 0.41 percent, respectively. 

 

Despite the price hikes, the overall inflation rate was significantly suppressed by the 50% electricity tariff discount from PLN for the period of January to February 2025, contributing to a deflation of 1.56 percent. As a result, Metro Municipality experienced deflation at the beginning of 2025.
