President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has urged the G20 to continue promoting the
empowerment of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and
women through concrete actions given their essential role for the
advancement of a country.
In addition, Indonesia has also developed a new financing scheme for women
micro and ultra-micro businesses, namely ‘Fostering the Economy of the
Prosperous Family’ (known as Mekar program).
The Head of State also mentioned that there is only 0.1 percent of non-
performing loan from the total of 10.4 million debtors in Indonesia, indicating
proven capability of businesswomen to manage their money.
The President went on to say that the G20 must give concrete support for
MSMEs digitalization through the development of digital infrastructure,
enhancement of cooperation on technology, expansion of the coverage of
inclusive digital connectivity, and improvement of digital literacy of small
businesses.
