Hipmi Chairman Candidate Commits to Expanding Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs in the Regions

We must have strong data regarding the needs of members and the potential of businesses in each region so that the financing solutions provided are truly on target.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Candidate for Chairman of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (Hipmi) for the 2026-2029 period, Reynaldo Bryan, has outlined a strategy to ensure that access to capital can reach entrepreneurs in all regions.

According to Reynaldo, the main problem that many regional entrepreneurs still face is limited access to business financing. To this end, he is preparing a program that focuses on mapping the needs of members and the economic potential of the region as the basis for formulating policies and concrete steps for the organization in the future.

“I think the main problem in the regions is access to capital. When we are elected later, we must have strong data regarding the needs of members and the potential of businesses in each region so that the financing solutions provided are truly on target,” said Reynaldo in a statement in Jakarta, Thursday.

He explained that the strategy would be implemented through two approaches, namely short-term and long-term solutions so that the financing needs of business actors can be met sustainably.

For the short term, Reynaldo is committed to optimizing Hipmi’s network by gathering support from within the organization and from senior Hipmi members who have successfully built businesses in various sectors.

“We will create a financing scheme that involves Hipmi’s internal strength. Senior Hipmi members who have been successful must be part of the solution to help fellow entrepreneurs in the regions to gain faster and more targeted access to capital,” he said.

Meanwhile, in the long term, he said that Hipmi must take a more strategic role in encouraging the birth of government policies that support business actors, especially MSMEs and young entrepreneurs in the regions.

According to him, there are still many prospective entrepreneurs who have the ability and willingness to do business, but are constrained by financing requirements that are difficult to reach.

In the future, he continued, Hipmi must be able to influence government policy so that access to credit becomes more inclusive.

“I imagine that one day people who have the ability and a good track record, even just with a diploma, can gain access to People’s Business Credit and other productive financing to start or develop their business,” said Reynaldo.

He said that the success of national economic development cannot be separated from the growth of new economic centers in the regions. Therefore, equal access to capital must be a priority agenda for the organization.
