At Boyolali Market, Ganjar Will Create A Low Interest Loan For Traders

BOYOLALI - Presidential Candidate 2024 number 3, Ganjar Pranowo returned to the traditional market, namely the Kebonagung Boyolali Market. This was done after visiting Wonogiri City Market yesterday.

After staying at Sabar's house (43) a toy trader in Ginting Village, Sambi Boyolali District, Ganjar walked healthy to greet the community. He took the time to visit the market and greet the thousands of people who were there.

"There is Mr. Ganjar, you know Mr. Ganjar here? Sir, take a photo, sir, you haven't seen him for a long time. Wow, you're even more handsome," shouted the traders.

Ganjar's arrival was immediately greeted enthusiastically by thousands of traders and the surrounding community. They are scrambling to get close to each other, just greeting and shaking hands. Some residents also complained about the high prices of high basic necessities.

But apart from that, the traders also complained about access to capital. Those who are only small swords ask Ganjar to provide access to capital because they cannot borrow from the bank.

"Yes, we hope that Pak Ganjar will provide access to capital. Because he doesn't dare to borrow from a bank, he doesn't have any guarantees. In addition, he borrowed at least," said Waginem, 70, one of the traders.

The same thing was conveyed by Sukini.43, another trader. He said, apart from high prices, traders also had difficulties regarding access to capital.

"Hopefully Pak Ganjar will become president, so that he can fight to keep prices up for the small people. And hopefully Pak Ganjar can help traders get access to capital," he said.

Ganjar said the government really needs to be present and help small traders. While in Central Java, he has a program called Credit Lapak, cheap credit specifically for market traders.

"It feels like for small traders and MSMEs we have to appoint a bank to take care of their capital. Because they definitely need fast capital with low interest rates. We will make this skime, we appoint banks to provide credit with low interest rates," he said.

Praktik itu lanjut dia sudah dilakukan di Jawa Tengah selama ia menjabat gubernur dua periode. Mengggandeng Bank Jateng, Ganjar memberikan kredit murah bernama Kredit Lapak khusus untuk pedagang dan pengusaha kecil.

"They don't need much, some are Rp. 500,000, some are Rp. 2 million. That's why I used the Lapak Credit to respond to that. And we will create a similar program later at the national level," he concluded.
