Hartanti in an official statement, Saturday (29/10). Airlangga explained that digitalization for MSMEs would make it easier to synergize with various financial service products, especially in distributing People's Business Credit (KUR). Currently, many commercial banks have developed digital banking in order to target a wider market. The MSME sector can take advantage of the platform as a form of implementing financial digitization. "The government encourages the acceleration of digital technology adoption by MSMEs so that MSMEs remain productive and can adapt to changes in consumer behavior. The support is through the Foster Brother program, e-catalog SMEs, and the Proud Made in Indonesia program," he said. Based on a survey from CORE, as many as 70% of MSMEs experienced an average income increase of 30% by joining the digital ecosystem. Meanwhile, according to the MSME Business Activity Survey conducted by Bank BRI, the MSME business index experienced an increase where in the second quarter of 2022 it reached 109.4 and shows that MSME players are at an optimistic level. Therefore, the government has provided easy access to MSME financing through the distribution of KUR, KUR Interest Subsidies, Working Capital Credit Guarantee, Final Income Tax 0 percent rate for MSMEs, and extension of credit restructuring. Until the end of July 2022, the distribution of KUR has realized IDR 209 trillion, equivalent to 56% of the 2022 target given to 4.4 million debtors. "With real support from the business world, such as the current training, we believe that MSMEs can recover faster and can make a real contribution to Indonesia's economic growth," he added.
