Turnover Hits Rp 7.02 Trillion in 2025, BI Continues to Accelerate MSME Development

Jakarta – The Head of the Communications Department at Bank Indonesia (BI), Ramdan Denny Prakoso, stated that alongside maintaining stability, the central bank is also promoting sustainable economic growth nationally. He noted that MSMEs are a pillar of national economic growth and employment absorption. Consequently, BI continues to strengthen MSME development to enhance their competitiveness. “In 2025, the turnover of Bank Indonesia’s fostered MSMEs reached Rp 7.02 trillion, growing 23.1 percent year-on-year, with the highest growth recorded in export-oriented MSME turnover at 21 percent and digital MSMEs at 25 percent,” Ramdan said in a statement on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. He estimates that this achievement will continue to grow with the implementation of the Integrated MSME Entrepreneurship Transformation Programme. This year, the programme targets the creation of 400 internationally certified baristas, 50 new traditional textile innovations, 200 Islamic boarding schools producing bottled drinking water, and 10 Islamic boarding schools managing integrated agriculture. Ramdan emphasised that these various programmes are directed at strengthening the national entrepreneurship ecosystem, increasing the added value and competitiveness of MSMEs, expanding job opportunities, and enhancing the contribution of MSMEs to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, BI is accelerating credit distribution by involving the government, relevant authorities, banks, and business actors. This effort is supported by the Macroprudential Liquidity Incentive Policy, which strengthens the intermediation function of banks and financing for the business sector. Ramdan explained that this is reflected in banking credit growth of 11.51 percent year-on-year in May 2026, an increase from 9.69 percent year-on-year at the end of 2025. “This increase in productive sector financing will further strengthen economic activity and growth,” he said. “Bank Indonesia will continue to optimise its policy mix and strengthen synergy with the Government and various stakeholders to maintain stability, strengthen sustainable economic growth, and support job creation,” he concluded.
