00:00Markets in Indonesia's capital Jakarta are bustling with sellers and buyers preparing
00:07for Lebaran, or Eid, celebrations next week.
00:11Eid al-Fitr, one of the two major celebrations in the Islamic calendar, is celebrated by
00:16more than 220 million people in Indonesia, which is the world's largest Muslim-majority
00:24country.
00:25Indonesia's Muslims, who make up about 87 per cent of the country's population, of around
00:30280 million people, mostly flock to markets for garments and food items, a hallmark of
00:37the religious celebrations.
00:39However, one garment seller said he had seen sales fall compared to last year.
00:45The price of goods has dropped a little, but the sales have dropped a lot.
00:53The economic factors have not yet been determined, but hopefully in the future it will be smooth.
01:03Regardless of price fluctuations, however, the lead-up to religious holidays sees food
01:08prices go up, something that consumers would have to take into account.
01:13It's the same, so I'm still buying, because I need it for Lebaran.
