Statement of President of the Republic of Indonesia at the Handover of Business Identification Number (NIB) for Micro and Small Enterprises at Toware Sports Center, Jayapura Regency, Papua Province, August 31, 2022
President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)
Today, we distributed as many as 2,700 Business Identification Numbers (NIB) so that the MSMEs players can have the access to financial institutions including banks or non-banks. For example, they can have an access to People’s Business Credit (KUR) so that they will have additional business capital, working capital, and investment capital. The previously informal MSMEs mode will become formal considering that they all now have NIB. It is the main goal.

How about mutilation case [in Mimika regency], Sir? Does the Government have measures to handle it?
President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)
I have directed Commander of the Indonesian National Defense Force (TNI) to support the Indonesian National Police (Polri) in carrying out thorough probe so that public trust to TNI will not fade. The most important thing is that thorough settlement of this case must be conducted. I thank you.
