MSME DEVELOPMENT OF BANK INDONESIA

The development of MSMEs by Bank Indonesia is carried out to support the functions, duties, and authorities of Bank Indonesia in the areas of monetary policy, macroprudential, and payment systems. To encourage MSMEs as a source of growth, Bank Indonesia implements MSME development programs through 3 (three) policy pillars, namely corporatization, capacity building, and expanding access to financing, in order to create productive, innovative, and adaptive MSMEs.

Strengthening corporatization is carried out to increase economies of scale through the formation of MSME groups by strengthening institutional aspects and business legality. The capacity building aims to increase MSME productivity, including the application of innovation and digitalization that can encourage MSME competitiveness. Furthermore, the expansion of access to financing is carried out to bring together MSMEs with various alternative sources of formal capital in accordance with business needs.

In addition, to be more inclusive of the economy and finance in Indonesia, Bank Indonesia also supports the implementation of the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion (SNKI) through the pillars of economic empowerment, expansion of access and financial literacy, and harmonization of policies in the National Strategy for Economic and Financial Inclusion (SNEKI). Through these 3 pillars, economic empowerment is integrated with increasing financial inclusion with targets for subsistence groups (Low-Income Communities, cross-group communities, vulnerable groups) and MSMEs, to participate more actively in productive economic activities.

Bank Indonesia continues to strengthen its MSME development program, including through the use of digitalization and expanding access to domestic and export markets. This includes the development of Leading MSMEs to support the creative industry, export activities, and empowering women. The development of Leading MSMEs is focused on export-oriented commodities and supporting tourism such as cloth, handicrafts, coffee, and processed food and beverages. Creative products based on traditional fabrics, which are regional cultural treasures, are closely related to women's empowerment, have high added value, and have export potential with specific values and product uniqueness because they contain cultural values and heritage elements that are made by hand.
