JAKARTA - The government disbursed people's business loans (KUR) amounting to Rp2.35 billion to 16 fishermen at the Eretan Kulon Fish Auction, Indramayu Regency, West Java.

Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said the government had symbolically distributed KUR of Rp2.35 billion to 16 fishermen who are debtors from Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Bank Negara Indonesia, Bank Mandiri, Bank Syariah Indonesia, Pegadaian Syariah, and Bank Jabar Banten so that people get working capital in the fisheries sector.

In addition, Airlangga conveyed that in the distribution of KUR, there were even fishermen who received assistance reaching Rp. 350 million so that it was hoped that they could encourage the activities of the Kulon Eretan Fish Auction.

"Some traders get credit of up to Rp350 million. It is hoped that this can encourage activity at Fish Auction Places in this area," said Airlangga in his official statement, quoted Thursday, January 25, 2024.

The government has targeted the distribution of KUR of IDR 280 trillion for 2024 with a target of at least 1.8 million new debtors and debtors with a minimum of 1.4 million debtors.

Airlangga added that the government has also prepared a number of policies to anticipate climate change conditions that have a direct impact on vulnerable communities.

The government has decided to extend the distribution of food aid until June 2024 which plays a role in maintaining the purchasing power of vulnerable people affected by rising food prices and helping maintain the level of national inflation, preparing direct cash assistance programs (BLT), and encouraging the distribution of KUR, especially for the fisheries sector.

Furthermore, Airlangga also provided food assistance in the form of symbolic food assistance to 100 food aid recipients who were present at the Eretan Kulon Village Office.

Furthermore, the total allocation of rice food assistance in 2024 for West Java Province reached 4,445,601 food aid recipients and for Indramayu Regency as many as 260,190 food aid recipients.

Meanwhile, the allocation of food assistance for Kandanhar District was recorded at 10,128 food aid recipients and Eretan Kulon 946 food aid recipients. Each PBP will receive 10 kilograms of rice every month.

"Today I thank the West Java Regional Government for collaborating with Perum Bulog and also PT Pos Indonesia for distributing aid at the Eretan Kulon Village Office. And of course I hope that the Food Assistance program and later the Direct Cash Assistance program will also be distributed by PT Pos Indonesia, which like earlier in dialogue with the community, the community really needs this assistance," said Coordinating Minister Airlangga.
