Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Central Board of the Indonesian Young\nEntrepreneurs Association (BPP HIPMI) is pushing for ease, transparency,\nand accurate targeting for young entrepreneurs and MSMEs across\nIndonesia through access to the People\u2019s Business Credit (KUR)\nscheme.<\/p>\n
\u201cHIPMI views financing access as one of the key factors enabling\nentrepreneurs to grow their businesses, increase production capacity,\nand create jobs,\u201d said BPP HIPMI Chairman Ade Jona Prasetyo in a\nconfirmed statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He said KUR is one of the government\u2019s strategic instruments for\nexpanding financing access for the business world. Therefore, its\nimplementation needs to be continuously strengthened so that the\nbenefits of KUR are felt more widely by entrepreneurs with growth\npotential.<\/p>\n
He stressed that KUR must serve as a stepping stone for entrepreneurs\nto move up a level. Many young entrepreneurs have businesses and markets\nthat are continuously growing, but expanding capacity certainly requires\nadequate access to financing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen their businesses grow, the jobs they create will also\nincrease,\u201d said Ade.<\/p>\n
According to him, the principle of prudence in disbursing financing\nremains important. At the same time, however, entrepreneurs also need\ninformation about KUR requirements, processes, and mechanisms that are\neasier to understand.<\/p>\n
To that end, HIPMI is preparing a KUR aspiration and mentoring\nchannel that can reach young entrepreneurs through HIPMI\u2019s networks in\nvarious regions. This channel will become a space for entrepreneurs to\nshare their experiences, suggestions, and obstacles encountered in the\nprocess of accessing KUR financing.<\/p>\n
\u201cHIPMI has an entrepreneur network reaching down to the regions. We\nwant to hear directly what they experience when accessing financing. If\nthe problem is business readiness or administration, we will help guide\nthem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that if there are issues requiring communication with\nthe relevant parties, HIPMI is ready to act as a bridge.<\/p>\n
He ensured that every piece of feedback received will be reviewed and\nmapped out so that it does not stop at being an individual report.<\/p>\n
HIPMI, Ade continued, wants to see whether there are recurring\nproblems across various regions and to turn them into constructive input\nfor strengthening the KUR ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Ade stressed that this step is not about finding fault with the\ngovernment or disbursing institutions. On the contrary, HIPMI wants to\nstrengthen collaboration between the government, banking, and the\nbusiness world so that financing programmes become increasingly\neffective.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe spirit is to find solutions together. The government has\nprovided support through KUR, financial institutions carry out\ndisbursement under the principle of prudence, while HIPMI can help with\nthe readiness and experience of entrepreneurs on the ground,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n
Going forward, HIPMI also wants to push for financing access to\nbetter follow a business\u2019s growth journey.<\/p>\n
According to Ade, Indonesia\u2019s challenge is not only to spawn as many\nnew entrepreneurs as possible, but also to ensure that entrepreneurs who\nhave already grown have the opportunity to develop into larger\ncompanies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more entrepreneurs move up a level, the greater the economic\ncapacity we build. They will open new businesses, expand production,\nabsorb labour, and create added value,\u201d said Ade.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is what HIPMI wants to push together with the government and\nthe entire financing ecosystem,\u201d Ade added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/hipmi-pushes-for-easier-kur-access-through-msme-aspiration-channel-1789466232", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
