Regulation

OJK rules now allow alternative data in SME financing

POJK 19/2025 on SME financing lets lenders use alternative data, not only SLIK credit-bureau history, when assessing small businesses.

Why it matters: an SME with no bank history can still be assessed if it can show consistent sales, payments and cash flow. Keep clean records now.

Source: OJK, POJK 19/2025.

Programme

PIP UMi has reached over 12 million ultra-micro borrowers

Through June 2025 the government's ultra-micro financing programme had channelled about Rp50.4 trillion to 12.5 million debtors since 2017, via PNM, Pegadaian and Bahana Artha Ventura.

Why it matters: for very small businesses this is a proven, low-collateral route, and graduating from it into bank credit is the next step.

Source: government PIP figures as reported, through June 2025.

Credit

SME credit stands at Rp1,397 trillion, about 15.6% of total loans

Outstanding SME lending was Rp1,397.4 trillion in July 2025, an SME ratio of 15.58%.

Why it matters: lenders are under pressure to grow this share, so well-prepared applications have room to succeed.

Source: OJK, July 2025 data.

Market

Rupiah and IHSG: volatile, so watch your costs

See the Market Watch charts below for the latest IHSG and USD/IDR prints.

Why it matters: a weaker rupiah raises the rupiah cost of imported inputs. If you import, keep a larger cash buffer and review supplier prices monthly.
