Trade Miniser Gita Wirjawan has denied that the price increase was caused by speculators who intentionally hoard certain commodities. "I don't see any large-scale hoarders," said Gita when visiting the low-cost market at the ministry's yard on Thursday, July 11.
Gita said that the high costs of some food products were purely due to the imbalances in supply and demand. "Prices are high because there isn't enough supply," said the Minister.
