MSME Minister: Rp 70 Trillion in KUR Disbursed to Micro Sector

Minister for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Maman Abdurrahman stated that the disbursement of People’s Business Credit (KUR) to the micro business sector has reached approximately Rp 70 trillion as of 3 May 2026, from a total KUR realisation of Rp 96 trillion. “From the total KUR allocation of Rp 96 trillion as of 3 May 2026, around Rp 70 trillion has been disbursed to the micro business sector,” said Maman, quoted from an official statement in Jakarta on Tuesday. According to him, financing disbursement to micro enterprises is one of the government’s instruments in accelerating the eradication of extreme poverty, as the majority of micro business actors come from low-income groups and informal workers. Maman stated that the government continues to optimise the micro and small business sector as the spearhead of poverty alleviation through various policy instruments, including KUR disbursement targeting groups from decile 1 (extremely poor) to decile 4 (vulnerable poor). In addition to expanding access to financing, the Ministry of MSMEs is also encouraging the utilisation of public facilities owned by the government, private sector, and state-owned enterprises as productive business spaces for MSME actors and the creative economy. According to him, these steps are expected to create a more collaborative business ecosystem while opening up new job opportunities, especially for the younger generation. The MSME Minister attended a ministerial-level coordination meeting led by the Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment, Muhaimin Iskandar, along with the Minister for Creative Economy, Teuku Rifky Harsya, in Jakarta on Monday (4/5).
