Purbaya said the Ministry of Finance has the Indonesian Export Financing Institute (LPEI) which is a financial institution to encourage national exports.
However, he said he was still looking at the readiness of this institution to distribute aid.
“We know that LPEI still had problems yesterday. So we will check whether it is correct or not at LPEI, if it is correct, we will add incentives to support the furniture industry through LPEI,” he said.
He said that the entrepreneurs also expressed their aspirations for competitiveness with Vietnam in terms of disrupted financing.
“Because the interest rate is lower than in other countries. So they asked whether there was a financing scheme in the government that could help them with the financing,” he said.
Entrepreneurs who are members of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) visited the Purbaya office on Friday (19/12) to report a number of business obstacles.
Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Anindya Bakrie, said that his party was specifically discussing the furniture and electronics industry.He believes that there needs to be deregulation or incentives provided by the government so that the trade surplus in this sector does not become thinner.
“This industry (furniture) is growing quite healthily, but the trade surplus is shrinking. Why? Because there are also imports coming into the domestic market. So, here we were discussing what deregulation or incentives could be done,” said Anindya after meeting Purbaya at the Ministry of Finance, Central Jakarta, quoted from
