        "content": "<p>Aceh Tamiang, Aceh \u2014 The Head of the Aceh Tamiang Regency\u2019s Office of\nCooperatives, MSMEs, Industry, and Trade (Diskoperindag), Ibnu Azis, has\nreported that 98 per cent of micro, small, and medium enterprises\n(MSMEs) have resumed operations following the flash floods that struck\nAceh Tamiang in November 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have observed that nearly 98 per cent are fully active again,\nincluding both the markets in Kuala Simpang town and the morning\nmarkets,\u201d Azis said when met at the Aceh Tamiang Sports Hall Complex in\nKarang Baru, Aceh Tamiang, on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Azis said the MSMEs that have resumed operations include food\nproducers, seafood traders selling fish, and others. He noted that the\nrecovery of MSME activity in the Aceh Tamiang area had been relatively\nswift, given that all MSMEs were completely paralysed during the first\nweek after the flash floods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the first week after the floods, there was absolutely no\nactivity, but over these three months we have seen activity resume to\nnearly 100 per cent,\u201d Azis said.<\/p>\n<p>On the same occasion, Azis also highlighted the significant surge in\nthe number of MSMEs recorded in the Aceh Tamiang area. In 2024, Aceh\nTamiang had recorded 15,073 active MSMEs in the region. Following the\nfloods, approximately 40,000 MSMEs in the Aceh Tamiang area were\nidentified as having been affected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Regent has instructed that MSMEs must recover and the economy\nmust keep running,\u201d Azis said.<\/p>\n<p>The Aceh Tamiang administration has organised Ramadhan bazaars to\nhelp revive MSMEs affected by the flash flood disaster. Azis said two\nlocations had been prepared for the Ramadhan bazaars \u2014 one at the Aceh\nTamiang Sports Hall Complex and another in Kuala Simpang town.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond providing trading spaces, Diskoperindag is also delivering\ntraining programmes for MSME operators and collecting data on MSME\noperators to facilitate assistance from relevant ministries and\nagencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the coming days, we will also conduct socialisation sessions on\nPeople\u2019s Business Credit (KUR) loans for the public, covering loans at\nzero per cent, three per cent, six per cent interest, and so on,\u201d Azis\nsaid.<\/p>",
