Press Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia during Distribution of Business Identification Number for MSMEs Players, Toware Sports Center, Jayapura Regency, Papua Province, August 31, 2022

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)

We just distributed Business Identification Number (NIB) for 2,700 individual micro and small business actors so they can have access to financial institutions, be it banks or non-banks. They also can apply for People’s Business Credit (KUR) to borrow working capital. From informal to formal entrepreneurs because they already have NIB. That’s the goal.

What measures will the Government take to deal with mutilation cases?

President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)
I have ordered Commander of the Indonesian National Defense Forces (TNI) to assist with the legal process that has been carried out by the police and the TNI. Therefore, the legal process must proceed so the people’s trust in the TNI will not fade. The most important thing is to investigate thoroughly and proceed according to the legal process.
