JAKARTA - Deputy for Cooperatives of the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs Ahmad Zabadi hopes that the Nasari Savings and Loans Cooperative (KSP) which continues to innovate can make cooperatives exist and develop.

"The innovation carried out by KSP Nasari is considered to be able to answer the challenges of the times. With good governance such as KSP Nasari, it is hoped that later it will bring cooperatives to exist and develop," said Ahmad as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 27.

In the last two years, KSP Nasari has launched two loan service products to the state civil apparatus (ASN) teachers, civil servants, and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) involved in the procurement of goods and services in the government.

This is in line with the government's program, which is 40 percent of the procurement of government goods and services must be carried out by MSME actors and cooperatives.

Chairman of KSP Nasari Frans Meroga Panggabean stated that his party is committed to continuing to innovate by continuing to present his newest products, which of course to improve the service and existence of Indonesian cooperatives.

"Currently, KSP Nasari can also serve ASN with special financing for pilgrimage (ONH plus), ownership of houses and cars, as well as capital financing for business capital as preparation for ASN activities after retirement," explained Frans.

At the RAT, KSP Nasari also signed a number of strategic partnerships, including KSP Nasari with PT Pos Indonesia, KSP and Sharia Financing (KSPPS) Nasari Mandiri Syariah with PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk, and the Nasari Sentra UMKM Cooperative (Skd) with DOKU.

Ahmad hopes that the steps taken by KSP Nasari can help encourage cooperatives in Indonesia to provide the best service to its members and also provide protection so that a sense of security arises from members when keeping their funds in cooperatives.
