Put prices back to regular level

Put prices back to regular level

From Neraca

As usual, basic food commodities have become more expensive
because prices of agricultural produce are subject to supply and
demand.

This year, the price of a chicken went up to Rp 30,000 and
chilies reached Rp 25,000 per kg.

Nonfood products have also increased in price. It is customary
that once prices have increased they will remain high, and often
do not return to their former level.

I appeal to traders to mark down prices to regular rates.
Profits in the short term are alluring, but in the long run there
is no benefit from them because they entail inflation. Everybody,
including the traders, will suffer losses.

It is hoped the authorities will be able to control the price
increases because tensions will easily lead to bigger losses in
these difficult times of the economic crisis.
