SME and Entrepreneurship Policy in Indonesia 2018
SMEs play an important role for economic growth and social inclusion in Indonesia. Based on data from the Ministry of Co-operatives and SMEs, Indonesian SMEs account for nearly 97% of domestic employment and for 56% of total business investment.
Indonesia has a Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Law and a specific ministry dedicated to co-operatives and SMEs. The wealth of public programmes for SMEs could be streamlined, and more could be done to support innovative companies able to generate productive jobs and participate in international markets. The development and implementation of an SME strategy would be instrumental to improve the overall coherence of national policy measures, objectives and measurable targets.
The review of SME and entrepreneurship policy of Indonesia is part of a peer-reviewed series, by the OECD Working Party on SMEs and Entrepreneurship, which aims to improve the design, implementation and effectiveness of national SME and entrepreneurship policies.
Executive Summary
Indonesia is the largest economy of Southeast Asia (the 16th largest worldwide) and has experienced sustained rates of growth over the last ten years. The government of Indonesia recognises SMEs as key drivers of economic growth and social inclusion, and has enshrined SMEs as a policy priority through a national Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Law and a Ministry specifically devoted to SMEs (i.e. the Ministry of Co-operatives and SMEs). SMEs also feature prominently in the main government development strategies, such as the five-year National Medium-Term Development Plan that sets out the development priorities of the executive in office.
