Rejected by Central Kalimantan Logistics Businesses: The Impact of BPS KBLI Changes on Regional Inflation

Oaktree.id – Recent changes to the Indonesian Standard Classification of Business Fields (KBLI) by Statistics Indonesia (BPS) have drawn objections from logistics businesses in Central Kalimantan. Their main concern is that these changes could trigger a surge in regional inflation.

Central Kalimantan Logistics Entrepreneurs Reject BPS KBLI Changes

Business owners in the distribution, freight forwarding, EMKL (Sea Freight Forwarding), and EMKU (Air Freight Forwarding) sectors in Central Kalimantan have expressed concerns about the BPS KBLI regulations. They say the changes will not only make day-to-day operations more difficult, but could also have a significant negative impact on the stability of prices in local markets.

Analyzing Potential Triggers of Regional Inflation

Oaktree friends, these KBLI changes are considered likely to affect the operating cost structure of logistics companies. These higher costs will probably be passed on to consumers through increased product prices. In a region like Central Kalimantan, where distribution is quite complex, this scenario could worsen existing inflation.

Furthermore, the new regulations could create uncertainty in business and investment planning. Businesses need clarity and legal certainty to operate effectively and contribute to regional economic growth.

A Call for Dialogue and Review

Oaktree.id calls for constructive dialogue among BPS, local governments, and all stakeholders in the logistics industry. A thorough review of the practical implications of BPS’s KBLI changes is essential to finding the best solution—one that supports a smooth supply chain without fueling inflation.
