Global economic uncertainty and exchange rate fluctuations pose significant challenges to monetary stability in Indonesia, particularly in maintaining a controlled inflation rate. This study aims to analyze the transmission mechanism of the rupiah exchange rate to the inflation rate in Indonesia from 2015 to 2024. The method used in this study is library research by collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing data from various scientific literature, official central bank reports, and related journal articles published over the past decade. The research findings indicate that rupiah depreciation has a significant influence on rising inflation through the imported inflation channel, where currency depreciation increases the cost of raw materials for industries dependent on foreign markets. Furthermore, the findings reveal that the effectiveness of this transmission is influenced by public expectations and monetary policy taken by Bank Indonesia through adjustments to the benchmark interest rate. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of synergy between a stable exchange rate policy and controlling the supply of domestic goods to minimize the impact of external shocks on public purchasing power. The government and monetary authorities are advised to continue strengthening foreign exchange reserves and encouraging the use of local currencies in international transactions to reduce dependence on the United States dollar and maintain national price stability.

This research investigates the correlation between public debt and several indicators of economic stability in Iraq for the period from 2004 to 2023. It analyzes the development of both internal and external public debt in the Iraqi economy during this period and examines the relationship between public debt (internal and external) and key economic indicators, such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the inflation rate. The study utilizes standard statistical methods to analyze these relationships and provide a comprehensive overview of the effects of public debt on economic stability. The findings highlight a negative and significant impact of the growth rate of public debt on the inflation rate, both in the short term and long term, suggesting an inverse relationship between them. Similarly, the analysis shows a negative and significant effect of public debt growth on the unemployment rate, both in the short and long run, again indicating an inverse relationship. The study further discusses how the Iraqi government’s growing dependence on public debt, particularly external debt, can have an impact on the nation's economic policies. These results emphasize the complex dynamics between public debt and economic stability in Iraq, demonstrating how changes in debt levels can influence inflation and unemployment rates. The research underscores the need for effective debt management strategies to maintain economic stability and promote sustainable growth. Additionally, the findings suggest that public debt, if not managed carefully, can undermine key economic indicators and hinder the long-term stability of the economy, making it crucial for policymakers to consider the balance between debt levels and economic health.

One of the most difficult issues for a country to avoid is reducing the unemployment rate, and this problem is often referred to as a multidimensional issue. Unemployment serves as a starting point for other social problems, such as criminal activity and other economic issues. A low unemployment rate reflects an improving standard of living for the population. Therefore, government policies are needed not only from a micro perspective but also from a macro perspective, considering the dynamic inflation rate. This report is used to analyze the dynamic relationship between inflation and the unemployment rate in Indonesia during the period 2019 - 2023. This period has caused a rather complex economic disruption, so the inflation-unemployment relationship may differ from classical economic theory. This study also compares the effectiveness of the Phillips curve on government policy. The data used are secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), including the inflation rate and the open unemployment rate. The method of analysis used is descriptive quantitative. The research results show that there is a negative relationship between inflation and the unemployment rate in Indonesia during the period 2019 - 2023. This means that when inflation increases, the unemployment rate decreases, and vice versa. However, based on current real conditions, they are now aligned. Government policies aimed at controlling inflation need to consider their impact on the unemployment rate.

The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of household consumption on the inflation rate in Central Kalimantan from 2018 to 2022 using the Granger causality test approach. Data on household consumption and inflation rates in Central Kalimantan province were obtained from the Central Kalimantan Province Central Statistics Agency. The results of the Granger causality test show that there is no causal relationship between household consumption and inflation. This means that changes in household consumption do not have a statistically significant effect on changes in the inflation rate. The unit root test results also show that the two time series data are not stationary and therefore require further analysis. Overall, the increase in inflation in Central Kalimantan from 2018 to 2022 concluded that it did not provide significant pressure to reduce household consumption. However, to maintain regional economic stability in the future, an appropriate response from the regional government is still needed.

Regional development is the driving force for national development, which makes regional governments the planners to carry out various kinds of economic transformation for the welfare of the existing society. Broadly speaking, the components that must be discussed in the regional macroeconomic analysis concern economic production and income, growth, unemployment, inflation, employment, external trade relations, financial institutions, regional finance, and poverty or social welfare. Regional macroeconomic analysis can at least show the face of the regional economic structure where this will determine the sustainability of the economy in accordance with development goals. The economic growth of a region, especially the City of Blitar, which of course comes from the results of regional taxes, regional levies, management of regional assets, and other legal regional revenues, which aims to provide flexibility to the regions to seek funding in the implementation of regional autonomy as a manifestation of the principle of decentralization and to increase PAD and support government activities and national development, a budget from the regional government is needed, one of which is from the regional tax sector. In one course experiencing economic stability and problems of economic growth. One of the main problems or drivers of economic instability that can disrupt economic growth is the occurrence of general and continuous price increases or better known as inflation.
