Forecasting Indonesia’s Wholesale Price Index (WPI) Using the Holt's Exponential Smoothing Method

Abstract
The Index of Wholesale Price (WPI) is a key benchmark in analyzing price movements at the wholesale level as it can affect the economic stability of a country. This research purpose to forecast the movement of WPI in Indonesia using Holt's Exponential Smoothing technique, which is effective in analyzing time series data that show trend patterns. This research utilizes secondary data obtained from the BPS for the period 2020-2024. The analysis is carried out by determining the optimal value of α and β parameters using trial and error techniques. Furthermore, the forecasting process is carried out using the best parameters that have been obtained. Based on the analysis results, the combination of parameters α = 0.9 and β = 0.8 provides a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) value of 0.22%, which indicates a very good level of forecasting accuracy. WPI forecasting for the year 2025 shows a consistent upward pattern, reflecting a consistent increase in WPI previous historical trends. The results of this study can be a reference in making price and wholesale trade policies by the government and related parties in the economic sector.
