Abstract

Inflation occurs when excessive demand results in an overall increase in the prices of goods and services. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the inflation rate in Indonesia leveled off due to the weakening economy. However, in 2022, there was a spike in post-COVID-19 inflation due to increased public demand as pandemic conditions improved. Stable inflation is a requirement for sustainable economic growth and improving people's welfare. In handling inflation problems in various regions, variables and unique circumstances in each region are very important. This research aims to determine whether significant differences exist in the clustering of inflation rates in Indonesia during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The research results using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the K-Means method obtained that the clustering of inflation rates with k=2 provides good results, as indicated by the Silhouette Coefficient value of 0.66. In addition, there is a significant difference between the current (2020-2021) and post (2022-2023) years of COVID-19 as evidenced by the Kruskal-Wallis test with a p-value < 0.05.
