INDEKS HARGA PENGGUNA, MALAYSIA
JANUARI 2022
Inflasi Malaysia meningkat pada kadar yang lebih perlahan
2.3 peratus pada Januari 2022
PUTRAJAYA, 24 Februari 2022 – Indeks Harga Pengguna Januari 2022 meningkat
2.3 peratus kepada 124.9 berbanding 122.1 pada bulan yang sama tahun
sebelumnya. Kenaikan ini adalah melepasi purata inflasi bagi tempoh 2011 hingga
Januari 2022 (1.9%). Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia mengeluarkan INDEKS HARGA
PENGGUNA (IHP), JANUARI 2022.
Dalam
kenyataan
pada
hari
ini,
Ketua
Perangkawan
Malaysia,
Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin berkata, “Peningkatan inflasi ini telah didorong
terutamanya oleh kenaikan dalam kumpulan Pengangkutan (6.0%) dan Makanan &
Minuman
Bukan
Alkohol
(3.6%).
Ini
diikuti
oleh
Hiasan,
Perkakasan
&
Penyelenggaraan Isi Rumah (3.1%); Restoran & Hotel (2.1%) dan Perkhidmatan
Rekreasi & Kebudayaan (1.2%)”.
Mengulas mengenai laporan tersebut, Ketua Perangkawan Malaysia menjelaskan,
“Isu kenaikan harga makanan seperti sayur-sayuran, daging dan ikan yang berlarutan
semenjak beberapa bulan yang lalu berikutan kesan langsung daripada kekurangan
bekalan serta kenaikan harga makanan ternakan sekali lagi memberi tekanan kepada
inflasi makanan. Kenaikan inflasi makanan yang merupakan penyumbang terbesar
kepada keseluruhan wajaran Indeks Harga Pengguna, terus menjadi penyumbang
utama kepada kenaikan inflasi. Inflasi Makanan & Minuman Bukan Alkohol meningkat
3.6 peratus pada Januari 2022 berbanding bulan yang sama tahun sebelumnya.
Makanan di Rumah yang mana mengandungi bahan mentah untuk memasak di
Embargo: Hanya boleh diterbitkan atau disebarkan mulai jam 1200, Khamis, 24 Februari 2022
rumah meningkat 4.1 peratus. Walaupun kenaikan tertinggi dicatatkan oleh
Daging (7.8%), peningkatan subkumpulan ini adalah lebih perlahan berbanding
peningkatan pada Disember 2021 (8.3%). Ini adalah disebabkan oleh penurunan
purata harga ayam mentah pada Januari 2022 kepada RM9.48 sekilogram berbanding
RM9.54 pada Disember 2021. Ini diikuti oleh kenaikan Sayur-sayuran (5.0%); Susu,
Keju & Telur (4.7%); Minyak & Lemak (4.6%); dan Ikan & Makanan Laut (4.2%).
Sementara itu, Makanan di luar rumah meningkat 3.1 peratus dan antara makanan
yang menunjukkan peningkatan adalah Masakan berasaskan daging (6.3%),
Masakan berasaskan sayur-sayuran (4.7%), Nasi berlauk (4.5%) dan Sate (3.9%)”.
Kumpulan Pengangkutan meningkat 6.0 peratus berikutan kesan asas yang lebih
rendah disebabkan oleh penetapan harga siling Petrol Tanpa Plumbum RON95 pada
Mac 2021 (RM2.05) dan masih tinggi berbanding harga purata RM1.87 per liter pada
Januari 2021. Tambahan pula, harga purata Petrol Tanpa Plumbum RON97 turut
meningkat kepada RM3.06 per liter berbanding RM2.17 per liter pada bulan yang
sama tahun sebelumnya.
Bagi perbandingan bulanan, IHP meningkat 0.3 peratus berbanding Disember 2021.
Peningkatan ini disumbangkan oleh peningkatan Restoran & Hotel (1.0%);
Perkhidmatan Rekreasi & Kebudayaan (0.8%); Makanan & Minuman Bukan Alkohol
(0.6%) dan Hiasan, Perkakasan & Penyelenggaraan Isi Rumah (0.6%). Namun begitu
pelaksanaan Skim Harga Maksimum Keluarga Malaysia (SHMKM) yang diumumkan
oleh Kerajaan sepanjang Januari 2022 telah meredakan inflasi kumpulan Makanan &
Minuman Bukan Alkohol dari terus melonjak tinggi berbanding Disember 2021 (1.0%).
Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin turut menambah, IHP kesemua negeri mencatatkan
kenaikan di mana lima negeri menunjukkan peningkatan melepasi paras inflasi
nasional 2.3 peratus. Peningkatan tertinggi dicatatkan oleh Selangor & Wilayah
Persekutuan
Putrajaya
(2.9%)
manakala
Sabah
&
Wilayah
Persekutuan
Labuan (1.9%), Negeri Sembilan (1.8%) dan Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
(1.8%) merupakan tiga negeri yang mempunyai peningkatan IHP yang paling rendah.
Kesemua negeri mencatatkan peningkatan bagi inflasi kumpulan Makanan &
Minuman Bukan Alkohol. Peningkatan tertinggi dicatatkan oleh Selangor & Wilayah
Persekutuan Putrajaya (4.9%) diikuti oleh Johor (4.0%) dan Perak (3.6%).
Embargo: Hanya boleh diterbitkan atau disebarkan mulai jam 1200, Khamis, 24 Februari 2022
Peningkatan yang berlaku adalah disebabkan oleh kenaikan harga makanan di luar
rumah pada Januari 2022 berbanding bulan yang sama tahun sebelumnya.
Sementara itu, negeri lain menunjukkan peningkatan di bawah paras inflasi kumpulan
Makanan & Minuman Bukan Alkohol nasional iaitu 3.6 peratus pada Januari 2022.
Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin turut menambah bahawa inflasi bagi kumpulan
pendapatan di bawah RM3,000 meningkat 2.5 peratus pada Januari 2022 berbanding
Januari 2021. Kumpulan Makanan & Minuman Bukan Alkohol meningkat 3.8 peratus,
0.2 mata peratus lebih tinggi daripada kumpulan yang sama dalam inflasi keseluruhan.
Peningkatan ini adalah daripada kumpulan Daging (7.7%) diikuti oleh Minyak & lemak
(6.7%); Susu, keju & telur (5.4%) dan Sayur-sayuran (4.9%). Inflasi Pengangkutan
adalah sebanyak 1.4 mata peratus lebih tinggi daripada kumpulan yang sama bagi
inflasi keseluruhan dan meningkat 7.4 peratus pada Januari 2022. Sementara itu,
Restoran & Hotel juga meningkat 2.4 peratus berbanding bulan yang sama tahun
sebelumnya.
Inflasi teras mengukur perubahan dalam harga barang dan perkhidmatan, tidak
termasuk makanan segar yang harganya tidak menentu serta barangan kawalan oleh
kerajaan. Inflasi teras telah mencatatkan peningkatan 1.6 peratus pada Januari 2022
berbanding bulan yang sama tahun sebelumnya. Peningkatan tertinggi dicatatkan
oleh kumpulan Pengangkutan iaitu 3.3 peratus. Selain itu, kumpulan Hiasan,
Perkakasan & Penyelenggaraan Isi Rumah turut mencatatkan kenaikan 3.1 peratus,
diikuti oleh Makanan & Minuman Bukan Alkohol (2.8%) dan Restoran & Hotel (2.1%).
Mengulas mengenai inflasi negara lain, Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin berkata,
“Kadar inflasi Zon Euro meningkat lebih tinggi pada Januari 2022 iaitu 5.1 peratus
berbanding Disember 2021 (5.0%), melepasi jangkaan pasaran iaitu 4.4 peratus.
Ini didorong oleh peningkatan 28.6 peratus dalam harga tenaga. Kadar inflasi di
Amerika Syarikat meningkat kepada 7.5 peratus pada Januari 2022, tertinggi sejak
Februari 1982. Tenaga meningkat 27.0 peratus merupakan penyumbang terbesar
kepada kenaikan ini. Perbandingan dengan negara-negara terpilih di rantau
Asia Pasifik, kadar inflasi di Malaysia (2.3%) adalah lebih rendah dari Republik
Korea (3.6%), Filipina (3.0%) dan Thailand (3.2%). Walau bagaimanapun, kadar inflasi
di Malaysia lebih tinggi berbanding Indonesia (2.2%) dan China (0.9%)”.

Langkah jangka pendek oleh kerajaan seperti pelaksanaan SHMKM untuk tempoh
4 bulan berkuat kuasa 5 Februari lalu bagi ayam dan telur, serta harga komoditi global
yang lebih tinggi dijangka akan terus memberi kesan kepada inflasi Malaysia dalam
beberapa bulan akan datang.

PRIME MINISTER’S DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS MALAYSIA
MEDIA STATEMENT
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, MALAYSIA
JANUARY 2022
Malaysia Inflation increased at slower rate 2.3 per cent in
January 2022
PUTRAJAYA, 24 February 2022 – The Consumer Price Index January 2022
increased 2.3 per cent to 124.9 as against 122.1 in the same month of the preceding
year. The increase surpassed the average inflation in Malaysia for the period 2011 to
January 2022 (1.9%). The Department of Statistics, Malaysia published report on the
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI), JANUARY 2022.
In a statement today, Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin, the Chief Statistician Malaysia
said, “The incline in headline inflation was mainly driven by the increase in the
Transport group (6.0%) and Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages (3.6%). This was
followed by Furnishings, Household Equipment & Routine Household Maintenance
(3.1%); Restaurants & Hotels (2.1%) and Recreation Services & Culture (1.2%)”.
Commenting on the report, the Chief Statistician Malaysia explained, “The issue of
rising food prices such as vegetables, meat and fish which has been lingering for the
past few months due to the direct impact of supply shortages as well as rising animal
feed prices once again put pressure on food inflation. The increase in food inflation,
which is the largest contributor to the overall weight of Consumer Price Index,
continues to be a major contributor to the inflation. The inflation for Food &
Non-Alcoholic Beverages increased 3.6 per cent in January 2022 as compared to the
same month of the preceding year. Food at home which consist of raw materials for
cooking at home increased 4.1 per cent. Even though the highest increase was
recorded for Meat (7.8%), the increase in this subgroup was slower than the increase
Embargo: Only to be published or disseminated at 1200 hour, Thursday, 24 February 2022
in December 2021 (8.3%). This was due to decline in the average price of raw
chicken in January 2022 to RM9.48 per kilogramme as compared to RM9.54 in
December 2021. This was followed by the increase in Vegetables (5.0%); Milk, cheese
& eggs (4.7%); Oils & fats (4.6%) and Fish & seafood (4.2%). Meanwhile, Food away
from home went up 3.1 per cent and among foods that showed increases were Cooked
beef (6.3%), Cooked vegetables (4.7%), Rice with side dishes (4.5%) and
Satay (3.9%)”.
The Transport group increased 6.0 per cent due to low base effect with the setting of
the RON95 Unleaded Petrol ceiling price in March 2021 (RM2.05) which was still high
as compared to the average price of RM1.87 per litre in January 2021. In addition, the
average price of RON97 Unleaded Petrol also increased to RM3.06 per litre as
compared to RM2.17 per litre a year ago.
On a monthly basis, the CPI increased 0.3 per cent as compared to December 2021.
The increase was attributed by Restaurants & Hotels (1.0%); Recreation Services &
Culture (0.8%); Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages (0.6%) and Furnishings,
Household Equipment & Routine Household Maintenance (0.6%). However, the
implementation of the Malaysian Family Maximum Price Scheme (SHMKM)
announced by the Government throughout January 2022 has eased the inflation of
Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages group from continuing to soar as compared to
December 2021 (1.0%).
Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin also added, all states recorded increases in CPI with
five states showed an increase above the national inflation level of 2.3 per cent.
The highest increase was recorded by Selangor & Wilayah Persekutuan
Putrajaya (2.9%) while Sabah & Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan (1.9%), Negeri
Sembilan (1.8%) and Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur (1.8%) were the three
states with the lowest CPI increase. All states registered an increase in the inflation of
Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages. The highest increase was recorded by Selangor &
Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya (4.9%) followed by Johor (4.0%) and Perak (3.6%).
The increase was due to higher prices of food away from home in January 2022 as
compared to the same month last year. Meanwhile, other states showed an increase
Embargo: Only to be published or disseminated at 1200 hour, Thursday, 24 February 2022
below the national inflation of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages rate of 3.6 per cent in
January 2022.
Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin further added inflation for the group income below
RM3,000 increased 2.5 per cent in January 2022 as against January 2021. The Food
& Non-Alcoholic Beverages group increased 3.8 per cent, a 0.2 percentage point
higher than the same group in the headline inflation. The increases were from
Meat (7.7%) followed by Oils & fats (6.7%); Milk, cheese & eggs (5.4%) and
Vegetables (4.9%). The inflation for Transport was 1.4 percentage point higher than
the same group of headline inflation and recorded 7.4 per cent incline in January 2022.
Meanwhile, Restaurants & Hotels also went up 2.4 per cent as compared to the same
month of the previous year.
Core inflation measures changes in the prices of all goods and services, excluding
volatile items of fresh food as well as goods controlled by the government. Core
inflation registered an increase of 1.6 per cent in January 2022 as compared to the
same month of the previous year. The higher increase was recorded by Transport
group with 3.3 per cent. In addition, the Furnishings, Household Equipment & Routine
Household Maintenance group also recorded an increase of 3.1 per cent, followed by
Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages (2.8%) and Restaurants & Hotels (2.1%).
Commenting on inflation of other countries, Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin said
“The Eurozone inflation rate rose higher in January 2022 at 5.1 per cent as compared
to December 2021 (5.0%), exceeding market expectations of 4.4 per cent. This was
mainly driven by 28.6 per cent increase in energy price. The inflation rate in the United
States accelerated to 7.5 per cent in January 2022, the highest inflation since
February 1982. Energy which increased 27.0 per cent was the largest contributor to
this increase. In comparison to selected countries in the Asia Pacific region, the
inflation
rate
in
Malaysia
(2.3%)
was
lower
than
the
Republic
of
Korea (3.6%), Philippines (3.0%) and Thailand (3.2%). However, the inflation rate in
Malaysia is higher than Indonesia (2.2 %) and China (0.9%)”.
