JAKARTA - Candidate for Governor number 3 in the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada Pramono Anung said that if elected he would provide IDR 300 billion for the capital of traders, especially MSME players, so that they could bounce back.

"The capital must be strengthened so that it can be independent," Pramono said in the second debate of the 2024 DKI Regional Head Election in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, October 27.

According to him, with strong capital, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are expected to have better capabilities. When he visited several markets, especially Tanah Abang Market, they complained about the difficult assets because the requirements were also complicated.

For that, he said, if elected in the Pilkada, the Jakarta Provincial Government will not complicate credit for MSME players so that they can compete again. "We have prepared Rp300 billion for capital for traders, especially middle to lower," he said.

The General Election Commission (KPU) of DKI Jakarta held a debate between the two pairs of Candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada at the Beach City International Stadium (BCIS) of North Jakarta Administrative City, Sunday night.
