Government Targets MSMEs to Become Pillars of the National Economy in Indonesia Emas 2045

Jakarta – The government is targeting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as the main pillars of the national economy in the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045, one of which is through easy access to capital.

In this case, BRI as part of a state-owned bank continues to strengthen its role in supporting the MSME sector through various innovations and sustainable financial services.

With an extensive network, BRI is a strategic partner in increasing the competitiveness of the national economy at the global level. Not only providing access to financing, BRI also presents entrepreneurship training programs and business assistance.

“BRI continues to allocate resources to support the micro and ultra-micro segments through financial innovation, training programs, and business assistance. This step is in line with our vision of strengthening the community’s economy,” said BRI President Director, Sunarso.

Meanwhile, in the middle layer, the middle segment functions as a balancer for the credit portfolio with more stable growth. At the top of the pyramid, the large corporate segment remains an important part of national development, even though the number of customers is smaller.

Sunarso explained that demand for credit in the MSME sector is greatly influenced by people’s purchasing power. If purchasing power weakens, demand for credit, especially in the micro segment, tends to decline.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Wibi Andrino, appreciated the initiative of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government in launching the MSME Development Program for the visually impaired.

“I appreciate the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s steps in supporting the empowerment of MSMEs for the visually impaired,” said Wibi.

However, he emphasized that this program must have a real impact and not just be a ceremonial event.

According to him, ongoing assistance, wider market access, and periodic evaluation are needed so that this program has a real impact.

He also expressed his commitment to overseeing the implementation of this program so that it runs sustainably and is not just symbolic.
