110 MSMEs to Enliven New Year's Eve Festival 2023

The Jakarta Provincial Government is set to hold the New Year's Eve Festival 2023 which will spread to the city level. At this event, the Jakarta Industry Trade Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises Agency (DPPKUKM) also invited coached MSMEs to participate by opening a bazaar at the event.

We urge the public who want to enjoy the event to support cashless payments by not carrying a lot of cash

Jakarta DPPKUKM Head, Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo said that the MSMEs involved in this event were business actors in the culinary field. They would hold bazaars at various events initiated by the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency on December 31, 2022, at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) as the highlight of the New Year's Eve event, as well as at several points where the 'Malam Muda-Mudi' (Youngster Night) entertainment stages along Jalan Thamrin to Jalan Sudirman, as well as at the event location in the city area.

"Regarding payments, we support the National Non-Cash Movement (GNNT) program. Thus, payments are made cashless using QRIS Jakpreneur. This payment method can minimize the transmission of Covid-19, as it reduces direct interaction between buyers and traders, and makes it easier for MSMEs to calculate turnover," she expressed, as quoted by Jakarta PPID's press release, Wednesday (12/28).
