Abstract
Efforts to control inflation must be carried out continuously, this is because inflation is very liquid and mobile (constantly moving), especially in Bengkalis Regency. As a region that is not a producer of basic commodities, especially foodstuffs such as rice, chilies and the like, Bengkalis Regency is very vulnerable to inflationary pressures if it is not properly coordinated and controlled.Based on the scope of the problem that has been described, it is necessary to analyze the inflation control policies that have been implemented by the Bengkalis Regency Government. It is hoped that these results will serve as input to the Bengkalis Regional Government in establishing inflation control policies in Bengkalis Regency. The research method used is a descriptive analysis approach with a qualitative approach. The research results use policysix concrete steps until the end of 2023, only two steps have been implemented, namely 1). Subsidized low-cost market/market operations, and 2). Check markets and distributors. Meanwhile, the other four planting movements, inter-regional cooperation, transportation subsidies and the use of unexpected spending have not been carried out because until now the Bengkalis Regency government assesses that community needs and prices are still very well controlled. So there is no need for more massive intervention in controlling inflation in Bengkalis Regency. Apart from that, the use of Unexpected Expenditures (BTT) and transportation subsidies also needs to be done carefully because the use of funds must also be in accordance with the level of intervention requirements required by the government, in accordance with actual inflation conditions. The design of cross-sector inflation control programs/activities as outlined in the Bengkalis Regency TPID roadmap for the 2021-2025 period has not been implemented in its entirety, several superior programs involving increasing domestic productivity have not been implemented according to plan.
