Itcould use price baskets to create transparency and monitor price developments in the market. Another measureBRTI could undertake is to require any advertisement to include the cost for a price basket defined by BRTI.Social implications: Price transparency is likely to lead to price competition and, thus, lower prices and/or better services. The economic impact of lower prices is well documented.Originality/value: A unique basket methodology to address the specific situation in Indonesia was developed.
