Inflation is one of the macroeconomic indicators that has become the focus of attention of countries in the world. This is because inflation has a large and significant influence on economic conditions. Therefore, it is important to forecast inflation in future periods as a material consideration in determining the policies and economic decisions to be chosen. Indonesia is a multicultural country that has religious holidays, one of which is Idul Fitri. Eid al-Fitr is expected to affect inflation through increased demand for goods and services. This study aims to establish a comparison between two monthly inflation forecasting models in Jambi City and Muara Bungo, namely the ARIMAX model with a numerical response variable and the GLARMAmodel with a categorical response variable. The results obtained are that the ARIMAX model has a better ability to predict monthly inflation in Jambi City, while the GLARMA model has a better ability to predict monthly inflation in Muara Bungo City.
