Abstract

This study aims to analyze the purchasing power of the community in the retail sector ahead of the Christmas and New Year (NATARU) celebrations in Rantauprapat City by examining the factors influencing purchasing power, including income, product quality, price, and business location. This research is a quantitative study with an explanatory research type, using a sample of 50 respondents who made purchases in the retail sector for NATARU celebrations. The partial results show that income, product quality, and business location have a positive and significant influence on purchasing power, while price has a negative and insignificant effect. Simultaneously, income, product quality, price, and business location have a positive and significant impact on purchasing power. The coefficient of determination value obtained is 78.2%, indicating that variations in purchasing power can be explained by income, product quality, price, and business location, while the remaining 21.8% is influenced by other factors not included in this research model. These findings indicate that increasing income, ensuring good product quality, and having a strategic business location can enhance purchasing power while maintaining competitive pricing to sustain consumer purchasing power.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on income inequality in Indonesia from 2010 to 2024, using the Gini ratio as a measure and employing multiple linear regression analysis on secondary data from the Indonesian Bureau of Statistics and Bank Indonesia. The findings reveal that GDP has a negative and statistically significant effect on inequality (p = 0.0424), suggesting that economic growth tends to narrow income disparities, whereas inflation exerts a positive and significant influence (p = 0.0326), indicating that higher inflation exacerbates unequal income distribution. Conversely, FDI was found to have no statistically significant impact (p = 0.3910). Together, these variables explain approximately 41% of the variation in inequality, highlighting the importance of pursuing inclusive growth strategies, effective inflation management, and enhancing the impact of foreign investment on income distribution. The policy implications underscore the need for government efforts to promote inclusive development, maintain price stability, and redesign FDI policies to contribute more directly to job creation and strengthening productive sectors
