        "summary": "Bali experienced month-to-month deflation of 0.51 per cent in July 2026, primarily driven by a 2.34 per cent drop in food, beverage, and tobacco prices. The Statistics Indonesia (BPS) office for Bali attributed the decline to a bumper harvest and high consumption weight of key commodities like rice, vegetables, and chillies. This marks the first July deflation in four years, contrasting with inflation recorded in the same month from 2023 to 2025.",
        "content": "<p>Denpasar (ANTARA) - The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali\nattributes an abundant harvest and high demand to deflation in several\ncommodities within the Food, Beverages and Tobacco group in July 2026 on\na month-on-month basis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the driving factor was the abundant harvest, and the weight\n(demand) was high for those commodities, which is why they contributed\nsignificantly to deflation,\u201d said Agus Gede Hendrayana Hermawan, head of\nBPS Bali.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in Denpasar on Monday, Agus Gede noted that in July 2026\nBali experienced month-on-month deflation of 0.51 per cent, with the\nexpenditure group contributing the most to deflation being Food,\nBeverages and Tobacco, which fell 2.34 per cent and contributed 0.75\npercentage points to the overall decline.<\/p>\n<p>The second group to experience deflation was Personal Care and Other\nServices, down 0.66 per cent, though its contribution was only 0.06 per\ncent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese two groups caused the deflation in July 2026, while the other\ngroups still recorded price increases (inflation),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>BPS Bali observed that this July deflation differs from the same\nmonth in previous years: in July 2023 inflation was 0.34 per cent, in\n2024 it was 0.10 per cent, and in 2025 it was 0.32 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first July deflation in the last four years. The driving\ncommodities are widely consumed \u2014 nearly everyone consumes rice,\nvegetables and chillies, unlike air transport, which not everyone uses \u2014\nwhich is why food, beverages and tobacco have the most dominant\ninfluence,\u201d Agus Gede explained.<\/p>\n<p>Broken down further, he said nine main commodities contributed to the\n0.51 per cent deflation: bird\u2019s eye chilli, which deflated 31.08 per\ncent and contributed 0.18 percentage points; shallots, down 19.67 per\ncent with a contribution of 0.16 per cent; and red chilli, down 29.38\nper cent with a contribution of 0.08 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>These were followed by broiler chicken, deflating 3.01 per cent with\na 0.08 per cent contribution; long beans, down 33.38 per cent\ncontributing 0.04 per cent; pork, down 3.71 per cent contributing 0.04\nper cent; tomatoes, down 16.03 per cent contributing 0.04 per cent;\nyard-long beans, down 26.13 per cent contributing 0.02 per cent; and\noranges, down 8.86 per cent with a 0.02 per cent contribution to total\ndeflation.<\/p>\n<p>By region, BPS Bali found the deepest month-on-month deflation in\nJuly 2026 occurred in Singaraja at 0.91 per cent, followed by Badung at\n0.59 per cent, Tabanan at 0.56 per cent and Denpasar at 0.30 per\ncent.<\/p>\n<p>Agus Gede added that the deflation occurred only on a month-on-month\nbasis; year-on-year, July 2026 against July 2025 recorded inflation of\n2.42 per cent.<\/p>",
