In the first half of 2026, Tanjungpinang reported positive developments in logistics and food security. Port service performance at PT Pelindo Multi Terminal increased, with cargo handling and passenger services showing growth. Additionally, Perum Bulog confirmed stable food stocks, including significant quantities of rice and cooking oil.

By September 2026, however, local small businesses began reporting a significant decline in revenue. Economic weakening and reduced consumer purchasing power have caused daily sales for some culinary vendors to drop by more than 50 percent. Local traders have expressed frustration that government data collection has not yet translated into tangible support, such as capital assistance, and are calling for concrete aid from the Tanjungpinang City Government.
