Speaking at an ISEI seminar, she argued that MSMEs must be integrated into national and global value chains. She also stressed that the people's economy and industrialisation should be pursued as a single agenda.",
        "content": "<p>Bogor, CNBC Indonesia - House of Representatives Commission VII has\nstated that to achieve a people\u2019s economy, Indonesia must no longer only\ndiscuss keeping MSME players able to develop, but must also improve\nproductivity and upgrade MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>This was conveyed by Deputy Chair of House Commission VII Rahayu\nSaraswati Djojohadikusumo at the National Seminar of the Indonesian\nEconomists Association (ISEI).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we talk about the people\u2019s economy, what comes to mind is how\nMSME players can keep their businesses alive. But discussing the\npeople\u2019s economy must also address how MSMEs can become more productive\nand move up a class,\u201d Rahayu said at the ISEI event on Thursday\n(27\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Rahayu continued that she wants MSME players in Indonesia to be able\nto compete with national business players, and even compete\nglobally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal is not for micro enterprises to remain micro forever, but\nfor micro enterprises to have the opportunity to become small\nenterprises, then small enterprises to rise to become medium\nenterprises, and medium enterprises to rise to become national\ncompanies, even global ones,\u201d Rahayu explained.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that Indonesian MSMEs currently receive a great deal of\ntraining, access to capital, technology training, and so on. However,\nmany MSME players still have not seen their turnover and productivity\nincrease. This raises the question of how effective the government\u2019s\nefforts have been in improving the welfare of MSME players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMSME players have received a lot of access to capital, training,\nincluding technology training, skills training, and so on. But many\nstill have not seen their turnover and productivity increase\ndrastically. Have our interventions truly succeeded?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, there needs to be a change in the government\u2019s approach to\nimproving the welfare of MSME players so that a genuine people\u2019s economy\ncan be created.<\/p>\n<p>The government should guide MSME players so that they are able to\nintegrate into national and global value chains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI emphasise that social transformation must be carried out through\nequitable people\u2019s economy, including MSMEs, cooperatives, and the\ninformal sector, so that they are able to integrate into national and\nglobal value chains,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, according to her, the people\u2019s economy and\nindustrialisation should not be separated, because Indonesia needs large\nindustries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe phrase \u2018integrated into the value chain\u2019 is very important,\nbecause the people\u2019s economy and industrialisation actually do not need\nto be set as two different agendas. Instead, the two must be united,\nbecause Indonesia needs large industries,\u201d she added.<\/p>",
