PRICES OF DAILY NECESSITIES REMAIN STABLE

Prices of daily necessities remain stable during the last few days before the new year's eve while stocks are confirmed to be sufficient for the first few weeks of the year 2009. Until this year-end the decrease in fuel prices has not lead to significant decreases in the prices of daily necessities.

In central Jakarta's Bendungan Hilir traditional market chicken eggs are priced at thirteen thousand and five hundred (13,500) rupiah per kilogram. A one thousand (1,000) rupiah increase from the price in the past few weeks. Price of duck eggs shows a slight increase of one hundred (100)rupiah per kilogram. The 1-R-1 and 1-R-2 types of rice are currently sold at six thousand (6,000)rupiah and five thousand five hundred (5,500) rupiah per kilogram respectively.

Vendors noted that the increase in the prices of rice are mainly caused by the lack of supply due to low harvest yields. In spite of this the stock of rice and other daily necessities are deemed sufficient to meet demands for the first few weeks of the year 2009.
