        "summary": "Indonesia's Investment Ministry (BKPM) has emphasised that possessing a Business Identification Number (NIB) is crucial for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to access government coaching and financing facilities. The NIB serves as official legal identity, opening doors to various support programmes. With only 16 million of an estimated 56 million MSMEs currently registered, the government is developing an integrated platform to boost legal compliance among small businesses.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming\/Investment Coordinating\nBoard (BKPM) has highlighted the importance of owning a Business\nIdentification Number (NIB) for micro, small, and medium enterprise\n(MSME) players, as it eases access to government coaching and financing\nfacilities. \u201cThe thing MSME players often forget is legality. The NIB is\nthe official identity that proves the business is legal. By having an\nNIB, the opportunity to receive coaching from central and regional\ngovernments is wide open, including easier access to financing,\u201d said\nRiyatno, Deputy for Investment Climate Development at the Ministry of\nInvestment and Downstreaming\/BKPM, in a confirmed statement in Jakarta\non Wednesday. Speaking at the UMKM SCALE HUB event in Banyumas, Central\nJava, on Monday, he noted that business legality not only provides legal\ncertainty but also opens access to various coaching programmes and\nfinancing facilities. Meanwhile, Ayu Heni Rosan, Advisor to the Dharma\nWanita Persatuan (DWP) of the Ministry of Investment and\nDownstreaming\/BKPM, highlighted the vital role of women in supporting\nthe family economy and encouraged participants to continue adapting to\ntechnological developments and business competition dynamics. \u201cWomen\nhave an extraordinary role. Many mothers in various regions are able to\ntake care of their families while managing a business. Empowered women\nwill help build healthy and happy families, as well as become role\nmodels for their children,\u201d said Ayu Rosan. Previously, the Ministry of\nMicro, Small, and Medium Enterprises stressed the importance of NIB\nownership for business actors as it is a requirement to access various\nbusiness facilities, including government programmes. Bagus Rachman,\nDeputy for Medium Enterprises at the Ministry of MSMEs, stated that the\nNIB is an official identity showing the legality and classification of a\nbusiness. \u201cWith an NIB, they can enter government programmes that\nprovide affirmation,\u201d Bagus told reporters in Jakarta on Wednesday.\nAccording to him, NIB ownership also makes it easier for business actors\nto obtain access to financing because their business status and legality\nare officially recorded. Based on information from the Ministry of\nInvestment and Downstreaming\/BKPM, the number of business actors who\nhave obtained an NIB reached approximately 16 million in 2025. This\nfigure is still lower than the total number of national MSMEs, which is\nestimated to reach around 56 million business units. To encourage more\nMSMEs to have business legality, the Ministry of MSMEs is developing the\nSapa UMKM platform, which will integrate various services across\nministries and agencies.<\/p>",
