Economic stimulus aid has been largely disbursed to survivors, with priorities on rehabilitating SMEs, distributing micro-business loans, and restoring markets, where progress stands at 89-100% completion. This initiative by the Task Force for Accelerating Rehabilitation and Reconstruction underscores efforts to fully revive local economies post-hydro-meteorological disasters.",

Thus, the total transactions\nshow an increase of up to 77 per cent compared to the end of April when\nSME transactions on e-commerce platforms only reached 7,461,422 in the\nthree disaster-affected Sumatra regions. Details of the evenly\ndistributed economic stimulus assistance to disaster survivors in Aceh\namount to Rp 250.48 billion out of a total of Rp 254.44 billion.\nMeanwhile, Rp 53.58 billion out of a total of Rp 62.90 billion has been\ndisbursed to disaster survivors in North Sumatra, and Rp 16.83 billion\nout of a total of Rp 17.74 billion has been disbursed for disaster\nsurvivors in West Sumatra. Satgas PRR Spokesperson Amran emphasised that\neconomic recovery for disaster survivors is the top priority in the\nrehabilitation and reconstruction of the Sumatra disaster. Economic\nactivities in the three affected areas, Amran continued, are gradually\nrecovering, along with the restoration of economic indicators consisting\nof SME recovery, distribution of People\u2019s Business Credit (KUR), and\nmarket improvements. As a further step, Amran affirmed that Satgas PRR\nwill soon complete the improvement of markets that have not yet been\naddressed in the three affected areas to stimulate the community\u2019s\neconomic wheels to fully recover. \u201cIn West Sumatra, it is already 100\nper cent (markets). Then, in North Sumatra, it is already 98 per cent,\nand in Aceh 89 per cent. So, only a few markets are being maximised so\nthey can be occupied as soon as possible,\u201d Amran added.<\/p>",
