The Government uses Fiscal Instruments to Control Price Hike

Posting Time 1/23/2008 04:57:00 PM

(Jakarta) - The government uses fiscal instruments to decrease the impact of increasing price on food products in local and foreign markets. This statement was issued by the Trade Minister, Mari Elka Pangestu, when she conducted an official visit to the Directorate for Quality Control and Monitoring Products in Jakarta, Wednesday (23/1)

“The increasing price on food products has been reported to President SBY. The Government has committed to take some actions, such as erasing the import tarrif for soybean and flour, until zero percent. The Government is also examining other strategies to re-stabilize the prices in the market,” Trade Minister said.

The Minister further said that the reason for this increasing price in local market is caused by the increase of food products in global market. For example, even though Indonesia does not produce grain, but the increase of grain’s price (100% increase) in global market influenced the prices in Indonesia. “There is also significant increase in the CPO’s price (100%). However, the main reason for this increase is the increase of oil price in global market,” the Minister said.

Besides, the government is also studying the most affected sections in the society by this global increase. “Does it affect the consumers, the poor or the Small and Medium Scale Enterpise. And only then that the Government will be able to prepare programs to minimize and anticipate the effects of global price increase. (Mimie/teks.Nurseffi)

It’s been couple of month since I’ve been practicing what has already said by the famous book “the secret”. Turn out the impact is extra ordinary. The small book that has already exists in the format of DVD actually simple enough and easy to understand. The secret only told that every person has ability to absorb the positive energy that the nature had. All begins and depends on what’s inside of our mind; the meaning is, if the positive things that we think of will reap positive things also. In the contrary as well, if the negative things that’s inside our mind so don’t be surprised if someday there will be negative impacts that will be in our harvest.
The great things are every positive thought has a power several times stronger more than the negative energy.
It seems easy to speak out but hard to do. Moreover when is related to insides people head, sometimes the different is between what’s inside peoples mind and what’s peoples in the end done. But after several times trying to practice turn out as not difficult as it seems. So simple, every wakes up in the morning just beginning with positive thinking that today is a bright day and we should grateful for it. Even though out there are raining and floats, which influence on the street traffic jam, but the positive energy that we collect since early morning can moves the universe to “follow” the willingness of our heart. The result is we can enjoy the traffic jam and the water flooding with positive. Better than spend energy to curse out the bureaucrat that used to be promised to resolve the traffic jam and the capital float matter.
I remember, if since early morning our feelings has already blue, so all day long everything that we do will be not optimal.
If every person could do little thing but positive, I am sure it will refine goodness for lots of people. The government and opposes, it is good if there were no suspicions at the first. So that every government policy that made for the sake of the people of course can give maximal result for the people. Critic’s indeed is important but in the meaning of constructive, not to crumble down or to besmirch each other. For ourselves, there is no mistakes if we starting to think and act positive, beginning with our neighborhood and our working place. Even though is small things but positive. (Ddk/Trans.Devi)
