He also invited all Indonesian people to visit this KKI exhibition virtually through the website www.karyak Kreatifindonesia.co.id. To make it easier for people to find the product they want. BI has prepared a catalog and can be downloaded on the website.

"In the future, BI is committed to continuing to encourage MSMEs in Indonesia as the backbone of the nation's economy, and to continue to synergize with related ministries and institutions," he said.

Meanwhile, the Chairperson of Dekranas Wury Ma'ruf Amin greatly appreciated the steps taken by BI and related institutions in advancing MSMEs in Indonesia, among others by facilitating various exhibitions. According to him, the selection of this digital exhibition is very good, considering that the current Covid-19 pandemic situation makes it impossible to carry out gathering activities.

She appreciated the signing of a memorandum of understanding between BI and Dekranas to encourage the production of Indonesian MSMEs. "I hope that with this virtual exhibition taking place, Indonesians can participate and make transactions to help the nation's economy," She said.

The same thing was said by the Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziah, that UMKM has been the savior of the nation's economy and absorbs quite a lot of workforce in Indonesia.

According to him, around 57.8% of Indonesia's GDP comes from MSMEs, 99.99% of business units in Indonesia are MSMEs, even MSMEs have also absorbed a workforce of 97% of the total workforce in Indonesia. For that, continued Ida Fauziah, the existence of UMKM must be considered so that it continues to develop according to the times.

He also hopes that MSMEs in Indonesia can comply with the 4.0 Industrial Revolution, by using technology, both in production, transactions and marketing, so that they can penetrate global and international markets. (Gix)
