Probolinggo City recorded a monthly inflation rate of 0.18% (month-to-month) in June 2026. Head of the Bank Indonesia Malang Representative Office, Indra Kuspriyadi, stated that the rise in fuel oil (BBM) prices was the main factor driving inflationary pressure in the region.
Despite the increase, Indra emphasized that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate for Probolinggo City remains within the national target corridor of 2.5±1%. On an annual basis, the region's inflation reached 2.92% (year-on-year), a figure relatively lower than the average inflation rate in East Java Province as well as nationally.
Data shows that the transportation sector contributed the largest share to inflation at 0.10%. This was triggered by price adjustments for non-subsidized fuels, namely Pertamax and Pertamax Turbo, which took effect at the beginning of June 2026. Aside from fuel, food commodities such as garlic, rice, shallots, and beef also contributed to the price index increase.
On the other hand, inflationary pressure was dampened by deflation in several staple food commodities, such as broiler chicken, cayenne pepper, and vegetables. This price drop was influenced by abundant market supply. Additionally, a correction in gold jewelry prices following a weakening trend in global gold market prices also helped curb inflation.
The Probolinggo City Government, together with Bank Indonesia, continues to strengthen its inflation control strategy through the 4K framework: Price Affordability, Supply Availability, Smooth Distribution, and Effective Communication. Concrete steps such as hosting Cheap Markets, the Cheap Food Movement (GPM), and optimizing Inflation Control Shops are key to maintaining price stability.
Thanks to consistency in maintaining regional economic stability, Probolinggo City even achieved a proud milestone as the 3rd Best Regional Government in Inflation Control nationally for the Java–Bali region.
