BENGKULU - The Mukomuko Regency Government, Bengkulu Province, has re-opened the registration for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Assistance (BPUM) phase III in 2021 for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) affected by COVID-19.

The registration of BPUM phase III is based on the letter of the Deputy for Micro Business at the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia number: B 601/Dep.2/VII/2021.

Mukomuko Regency Head of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, Herlian said, his party had notified all village heads to be able to propose MSME actors in this service.

Then the agency has asked all sub-district heads in this area to pass on information related to the opening of this year's stage III BPUM registration for MSME actors affected by COVID-19.

"We have socialized this program by involving all sub-district heads and village heads in this area so that they convey to their citizens related to this BPUM program," said Herlian in his statement at Mukomuko, Antara, Wednesday, July 28.

The requirements for prospective recipients of stage III BPUM assistance are the same as stages II and I, namely submitting an ID card, KK no borrowing people's business credit (KUR), not being a previous BPUM recipient and having a business certificate from the village.

"The time is very short, only two weeks, the same as the BPUM registration phase I, for that we ask MSME actors to immediately register themselves in this service," he said.

In addition, the amount of BPUM funds for MSME actors this year is Rp. 1.2 million or a decrease compared to the previous year's value of Rp. 2.4 million.

Meanwhile, as many as 1,642 MSME actors in this area registered as recipients of the Micro Business Actor Assistance program (BPUM) phase II in 2021, the number of MSME actors who registered for BPUM phase II was more than in phase I in 2021 as many as 1,524 people.

However, the number of MSME actors who registered for BPUM both phase I and phase II in 2021 was less than in 2020 as many as 8,549 people due to limited time for registration of prospective BPUM recipients.
