Sri Mulyani to Launch Ultra Micro Loan Program Today

TEMPO.CO, Bogor - Finance Minister Sri Mulyani today will launch the ultra-micro loan program in Pasar Angin Village, Bogor. The program will be provided to small businesses in agriculture, fishery and trade sectors that do not have access to banks due to the lack of assets to guarantee the loan.

The program is carried out together with the Marine and Fishery Ministry, Communication and Informatics Ministry, Social Affairs Ministry and Cooperatives and SME Ministry. The program is aimed at enhancing the scale of ultra-micro businesses that would allow them to be self-sufficient.

The Finance Ministry reports that 61 million ultra-micro businesses need access to finance. The existing People’s Business Credit (KUR) program can only reach 17 million micro businesses, whereas 44 ultra-micro business owners who need finance around Rp1-5 million have yet to enjoy such services.

Therefore, the government has joined hands with state-owned enterprises with ultra-micro characteristics, namely Pegadaian, Permodalan Nasional Mandiri and Bahana Artha Ventura. The companies will distribute loans to cooperatives that will re-distribute them to end users.

Moreover, the government will also provide assistance to ultra-micro businesses. The latter are expected to develop joint businesses to avoid non-performing loans (NPL).

The program will be trialed in 19 villages across Indonesia. The government will be distributing Rp1.5 trillion loans to around 300,000 ultra-micro businesses.

The ultra-micro loan program will be launched simultaneously in 9 locations, which include Megamendung in Bogor with Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, Cawang in East Jakarta with Social Affairs Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa, Bojonegoro in East Java with Cooperatives and SME Ministery A.A. Gede Ngurah Puspayoga and Communication and Informatics Minister Rudiantara. The participants of the events will be connected to the teleconference.

Reindustrialization policy must be implemented: Brodjonegoro
Senin, 14 Agustus 2017 19:44 WIB - 489 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The reindustrialization policy must be implemented to achieve high economic growth in the subsequent decades, Head of the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) Bambang Brodjonegoro stated.

Bappenas is currently working to realize the Indonesia Vision 2045, an important element of which is accelerating the countrys economy to escape from the middle-income trap to transform into a high-income country.

"To realize this vision, the government must implement several main policies, including the reindustrialization policy," Brodjonegoro noted during the International Conference on Indonesian Economy and Development in Jakarta on Monday.

With an integrated roadmap in place, Indonesias economy is expected to grow at 6.4 percent annually in high scenarios.

With such growth, Indonesia will become a high-income nation by 2034, and the countrys per capita gross domestic product (GDP) will reach US$29 thousand by 2045, thereby making it rank among the worlds top five GDP nations, as compared to its 16th position in 2016.

"The manufacturing industry should be able to grow at an average of 7.8 percent per year in the next 30 years in order to strengthen its contribution, from 21 percent in 2015, to around 32 percent in 2045," the minister explained.

To achieve this objective, Brodjonegoro explained that the reindustrialization policy must have particular characteristics, and it is expected to be integrated from upstream to downstream to increase the contribution of the manufacturing industry to the economy.

Integration from upstream to downstream is also crucial in tackling the hollow gap in industrial structure wherein small industries share minimal relations with their larger counterparts.

"Through this integration, the productivity of small industries will be improved," Brodjonegoro remarked.

In addition, the countrys economy is expected to optimally utilize digital economy and encourage innovations in economic activities.

According to Brodjonegoro, innovation and digital enhancement are significant factors to increasing productivity.

The other two characteristics are the need to improve institutional aspects that can encourage innovation as well as increased development and application of science and technology.(*)

Jakarta - Rencana pemerintah membangun Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Bayu/Angin (PLTB) atau 'kebun angin' segera terealisasi. Hal itu terlihat dari pembangunan PLTB Sidrap di Sulawesi Selatan (Sulsel).

Kamis (17/8/2017), sejumlah komponen yang terdiri dari komponen tower atau tiang 'kebun angin' yang diangkut Kapal LCT VIP Jaya tiba di perairan Parepare, Sulsel.

"Kapal tersebut membawa enam bagian menara sepanjang 28 meter dengan diameter 4 meter. Kapal sepanjang 70 meter itu kemudian berlabuh di Pelabuhan Nusantara Parepare dan membongkar muatan pada tanggal 18 Agustus 2017," kata Manager Engineering PT UPC Sidrap, Dadan Suhendar dalam keterangan tertulis, Senin (21/8/2017).

Kedatangan kapal pengangkut komponen pertama tersebut akan diikuti kapal berukuran lebih besar yang membawa 15 rumah turbin Gamesa 114 2,5 MW dari Spanyol.

"Kapal ini dijadwalkan akan tiba di Parepare pada 23 Agustus 2017," sambung dia.

Ia menambahkan, komponen tersebut kemudian akan diangkut lagi dari pelabuhan Nusantara Parepare menuju lokasi pembangunan PLTB Sidrap. Diperkirakan, komponen tersebut bisa tiba di lokasi pada Senin atau Selasa Malam.

Pengangkutan bagian-bagian turbin angin akan menggunakan truk-truk khusus yang dapat membawa komponen berukuran sangat besar dari Pelabuhan Nusantara Parepare ke lokasi proyek di Desa Lainungan dan Mattirotasi, Kabupaten Sidrap.

Kegiatan ini akan melalui jalan Karaeng Burane, Patung Pramuka, lokasi jembatan depan Rumah Jabatan Wali Kota, Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani, dan Jalan Poros Parepare-Sidrap.

Proses pengangkutan akan berlangsung pada waktu tertentu antara pukul 22.00-05.00 WITA.

"Untuk mengendalikan lalu lintas selama proses pengangkutan, UPC Sidrap telah bekerja sama dengan Kepolisian setempat serta Dinas Perhubungan Kota Parepare dan Kabupaten Sidrap guna menangani manajemen lalu lintas," terang Dadan.

Dengan kedatangan komponen ini, lanjut Dadan, maka konstruksi pembangkit listrik dari energi baru terbarukan ini bisa mulai dikebut.

"Ini merupakan pencapaian yang sangat menggembirakan bagi UPC Sidrap dan seluruh pemangku kepentingan. Khusus untuk Indonesia, pencapaian ini sangat istimewa karena kedatangan perdana komponen proyek PLTB pertama di negeri ini tiba tepat di Hari Kemerdekaan," tutur Dadan. (dna/hns)
