We are committed to continuing to support the development of MSMEs as the backbone of the Indonesian economy," said Saptari in an official statement, Friday, October 4.

Saptari added that the distribution of KUR is a form of the commitment of the Government and Bank Mandiri as financial institutions in supporting the development of MSMEs.
