JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir said that in an effort to encourage the digitization of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) it is necessary to provide assistance for end-users. Because, not all understand digital technology.
"Like it or not, these SMEs must be accompanied. Not everyone understands digital," he said, quoted from his official Instagram @erickthohir, Thursday, August 18.
Erick said, state-owned companies also participated in building a digital ecosystem as an effort to encourage the digitization of MSMEs.
For example, the involvement of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk and Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk which encourages digital payments in the market.
Furthermore, Erick said, Bank Mandiri had collaborated with 436 markets to help MSMEs.
"Yesterday I went down. How now in the markets have helped MSMEs use digital as payment. BRI also does this," he said.
Erick also emphasized the importance of the role of banking, especially the Association of State-Owned Banks (Himbara) in encouraging digitalization, especially in approaching and providing assistance to enter the digital ecosystem.
According to Erick, in the current digital era, everyone must adapt. This includes traditional markets in terms of non-cash payments using digital to make it easier for consumers.
“Markets such as Beringharjo, Yogyakarta, for example, have also used digital bank transactions. Bank Mandiri is a state-owned bank that has collaborated with traders, providing non-cash services. Of course, to make it easier for traders and consumers, "he said.
