The Jakarta administration is collaborating with the Indonesian Islamic University Alumni Association (IKA UII) to help provide economic stimulus, especially for MSMEs.

Our economy is now starting to improve and this is an opportunity to do a reset

This collaboration was realized by the delivery of business assistance in the form of 50 MSME carts at the Lokbin JS 24, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Kuningan Timur Urban Village, South Jakarta.

At that time, Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said that this assistance would greatly help MSMEs to get up immediately after experiencing an extraordinary economic contraction due to the pandemic.

"Our economy is now starting to improve and this is an opportunity to do a reset, which is to correct anything that needs to be improved, including by increasing opportunities and facilitating them (MSMEs) to grow and develop," he expressed while witnessing the symbolic handover of business assistance for MSMEs from IKA UII at Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday (7/19).

"Hopefully, there will be more people who are moved to help them, they need it," he added, as quoted by Jakarta PPID's press release.

He hoped that stimuli such as business assistance in collaboration with various parties could fix the quality of economic growth in Jakarta, both large and micro enterprises.

“Moments like this will result in quality economic growth, as everyone has the opportunity to grow and develop. So, we don't need to bring down the big ones, but we encourage small business actors to become big ones in order to prosper all Jakarta residents," he stated.
