  • Undergraduate Management Study Program Presents Head Analyst of Bank Indonesia in Guest Lecture on Digitization of MSMEs

    Undergraduate Management Study Program Presents Head Analyst of Bank Indonesia in Guest Lecture on Digitization of MSMEs

    The Management Study Program (MSP) hosted a Guest Lecture presenting an invited speaker from Bank Indonesia. The Guest Lecture entitled Empowering MSME Growth through Digitization was held virtually through Zoom Cloud Meeting on Saturday (07/08/2023). The guest lecture presents Dr. Panji Achmad, LL.M., Group Head/Director of the Legal Department of Bank Indonesia who discussed four important points in digitalization development in MSMEs.

    These points include the duties and authorities of the central bank after the enactment of Law No. 4 of 2023 concerning the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector (P2SK Law), the application of omnibus law of the financial system, Bank Indonesia and payment systems in Indonesia, and the development of MSMEs and digitalization in Central Java.

    The event, which lasted for approximately two hours, opened with Dr. Joko Suyono’s remarks. Through his remarks, he revealed that this guest lecture was attended by the majority of MSP students in the final semester who participated in the MBKM program. “We hope that today’s material can enrich students’ knowledge on how to manage MSMEs related to digitalization,” said Dr. Joko Suyono.

    In line with Dr. Joko, Dr. Panji stated that the objectives of the guest lecture are in line with BI duties related to the empowerment of MSMEs. Hence, creating a well-synchronized guest lecture theme. This is because currently Bank Indonesia is actively engaged in disseminating new regulations related to omnibus law or P2SK Law. “Digitization helps MSMEs during the Covid pandemic. Without digitalization, perhaps the effect of the pandemic will be more severe for MSMEs,” said Dr. Panji.

    In addition to serving as the central bank in Indonesia, the BI participates in the development of MSMEs, among others, through mentoring, financial literacy, and price stability. In this case, BI’s duties in the P2SK Law include issuing legal tender, formulating and implementing monetary policy, regulating and maintaining the seamless flow of the payment system, maintaining financial system stability through macroprudential regulation and supervision, and carrying out the function of “the lender of the last resort.”

    Regarding the development of the digital payment sector, he said that consumers need to consider the balance between the risks and the functionality of digital payment tools. This is related to the many security risks, inherent to the use of such digital systems. “Henceforth, all payment systems in Indonesia must be under the supervision of the central bank, there should be no ‘shadow banking’ (banks that do not comply/do not follow BI regulations). The payment system must be connected to the banking system. One of the technological advancements launched by BI is the use of a QR code, named the QR code Indonesian Standard. The implementation of QRIS is highly beneficial, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic,” he explained.

    In fact, this QRIS has developed into a cross-border QRIS, which now has been adopted in Thailand, Malaysia, and finally legalized in Singapore. In line with the development of the official payment system built by BI, according to data from the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs, in 2022, there were 20.76 million MSME units that had implemented the digital ecosystem. Under this MSME development framework, BI provides MSME development programs and inclusive finance.

    “According to the digitization statistics in Central Java, the largest users of digital payment are Generation Z and millennials. In 2022, the number of SMEs that have entered the digital ecosystem increased 26.6% compared to 2021. Meanwhile, the Kemenkop target for 2024 is 30 million MSME units joining this digital ecosystem.”

    The enthusiasm of students for the material of the Indonesian financial system was seen during the question-and-answer session, where Dr. Panji said several times that the questions asked by students were very interesting and important.

    At the end of the question-and-answer session, Dr. Panji conveyed two important suggestions related to the usage of digital payment systems. “Use digital payments wisely. Be careful in carrying out digital transactions,” he stressed. Concluding the Guest lecture on this occasion, Dr. Wulan Permatasari, SE., MM., SHRM-CP., the moderator of the event expressed her gratitude to Dr. Panji for his comprehensive material.

    “Pak Panji discussed a lot about the development of MSMEs in Central Java and Indonesia. This is a very useful material because many students at FEB UNS do not understand the payment system in Indonesia. Hopefully, in the future, Mr. Panji will be able to share his knowledge and experience with FEB UNS students. Thank you to the participants and the MSP FEB UNS PKKM Task Force Team. Thank you, Mr. Panji, for your knowledge and sharing,” she said, ending the Guest Lecture session.

  • Prodi S1 Manajemen Hadirkan Head Analyst Bank Indonesia dalam Guest Lecture Digitalisasi UMKM

    Prodi S1 Manajemen Hadirkan Head Analyst Bank Indonesia dalam Guest Lecture Digitalisasi UMKM

    Program Studi S1 Manajemen menggelar Guest Lecture yang menghadirkan narasumber dari Bank Indonesia. Gelaran Guest Lecture bertajuk Empowering MSME Growth through Digitization tersebut terlaksana secara daring melalui Zoom Cloud Meeting pada Sabtu (08/07/2023).

    Kuliah tamu tersebut menghadirkan Dr. Panji Achmad, LL.M, Group Head/Director of Legal Department of Bank Indonesia yang membahas empat poin penting dalam perkembangan digitalisasi di UMKM.

    Poin tersebut antara lain tugas dan wewenang bank sentral pasca disahkannya UU No. 4 Tahun 2023 tentang Pengembangan dan Penguatan Sektor Keuangan (UU P2SK), penerapan omnibus law sistem keuangan, Bank Indonesia dan sistem pembayaran di Indonesia, serta pengembangan UMKM dan digitalisasi di Jawa Tengah.

    Acara yang berlangsung selama kurang lebih dua jam tersebut dibuka dengan sambutan Dr. Joko Suyono. Melalui sambutannya, ia mengungkapkan bahwa kuliah tamu kali ini dihadiri oleh mayoritas mahasiswa Prodi S1 Manajemen di semester akhir yang mengikuti program MBKM.

    “Kami berharap materi hari ini dapat memperkaya pengetahuan mahasiswa tentang bagaimana mengelola UMKM terkait digitalisasi,” harap Dr. Joko Suyono.

    Selaras dengan harapan Dr. Joko, Dr. Panji menyatakan bahwa tujuan dari guest lecture dan tugas BI terkait pemberdayaan UMKM sangatlah sesuai. Hal ini dikarenakan saat ini Bank Indonesia sedang giat-giatnya dalam mensosialisasikan peraturan baru terkait omnibus law atau UU P2SK.

    “Digitalisasi membantu UMKM pada saat pandemi covid. Tanpa digitalisasi, mungkin pengaruh covid akan sangat besar bagi UMKM,” ungkap Dr. Panji.

    Selain bertugas sebagai bank sentral di Indonesia, BI turut serta dalam pengembangan UMKM antara lain lewat pendampingan, literasi keuangan, dan kestabilan harga. Dalam hal ini tugas BI dalam UU P2SK meliputi mengeluarkan alat pembayaran yang sah, merumuskan dan melaksanakan kebijakan moneter, mengatur dan menjaga kelancaran sistem pembayaran, menjaga stabilitas sistem keuangan melalui pengaturan dan pengawasan makroprudensial, serta menjalankan fungsi “the lender of the last resort.”

    Terkait pengembangan sektor pembayaran digital, ia menyebut bahwa konsumen perlu mempertimbangkan keseimbangan antara risiko dan fungsional alat pembayaran digital. Hal ini terkait dengan banyaknya risiko keamanan yang melekat pada penggunaan sistem digital tersebut.

    “Untuk itu semua sistem pembayaran di Indonesia harus dibawah pengawasan bank sentral, tidak boleh ada ‘shadow banking’ (bank yang tidak sesuai/tidak mengikuti peraturan BI). Sistem pembayaran harus terhubung dengan sistem perbankan. Salah satu kemajuan yang diluncurkan oleh BI adalah penggunaan QR code, bernama QR code Indonesian Standard. Penggunaan QRIS sangat bermanfaat, khususnya pada saat pandemi Covid-19.” jelasnya.

    Bahkan QRIS ini telah berkembang menjadi QRIS cross border, yang hingga saat ini telah bisa digunakan di Thailand, Malaysia, dan terakhir disahkan di Singapura.

    Sejalan dengan perkembangan sistem pembayaran resmi yang dibangun oleh BI, menurut data dari Kementerian Koperasi dan UMKM, pada 2022, ada 20,76 juta unit UMKM yang telah menggunakan ekosistem digital. Dalam rangka pengembangan UMKM ini, BI memberikan program pengembangan UMKM serta keuangan inklusif.

    “Statistik digitalisasi di Jawa Tengah pengguna pembayaran digital paling besar adalah generasi Z dan milenial. Pada tahun 2022, jumlah UKM yang telah masuk ekosistem digital meningkat 26,6% dibandingkan tahun 2021. Sementara target Kemenkop untuk tahun 2024 adalah 30 juta unit UMKM yang bergabung dalam ekosistem digital ini.”

    Antusiasme mahasiswa kepada materi sistem keuangan Indonesia tampak saat sesi tanya jawab. Dr. Panji beberapa kali menyampaikan bahwa pertanyaan yang diajukan mahasiswa sangatlah menarik dan penting.

    Di akhir sesi tanya jawab, Dr. Panji menyampaikan dua saran penting dalam penggunaan sistem pembayaran digital.  “Gunakanlah pembayaran digital secara bijak. Berhati-hati dalam melakukan transaksi digital.” tegasnya.

    Mengakhiri kegiatan Guest lecture pada kesempatan ini, Dr. Wulan Permatasari, SE., MM., SHRM-CP., moderator acara menyampaikan ucapan terimakasih pada Dr. Panji yang telah menjelaskan materi.

    “Pak Panji banyak membahas mengenai perkembangan UMKM di Jawa Tengah dan Indonesia. Ini adalah materi yang sangat bermanfaat karena banyak mahasiswa di FEB UNS  yang belum memahami sistem pembayaran di Indonesia. Semoga kedepan Pak Panji akan dapat kembali berbagi ilmu dan pengalaman kepada mahasiswa FEB UNS. Terima Kasih kepada peserta yang telah hadir dan Tim Taskforce PKKM Prodi S1 Manajemen. Terima kasih Pak Panji atas ilmu dan sharingnya,” ungkapnya mengakhiri sesi Guest Lecture.

    “The strategy we adopt to win the championship has been prepared carefully since about 2 months before the competition was held,” said Fadhil.

    While UNS delegated 2 Teams, he highlighted that all universities in Central Java participated in this competition. There are 10 teams who took part in the Business Plan Contest with a total of 30 participants. Meanwhile, for the Islamic Economic Olympiad, there are 29 teams competing from all across the province, with a total of 87 participants, where UNS sent 2 teams as delegations.

    Regional Scientific Meetings (Temilteg) is one of the annual agendas by the Forum for the Study of Islamic Economics (FoSSEI) as a forum for competition between FoSSEI cadres.

    Through Central Java Temilreg, FoSSEI cadres who are members of the Islamic Economics Study Group (KSEI) from various universities throughout Central Java have the opportunity to interact with each other, to establish ‘Ukhuwah (t/n friendship/fellowship)’, to share knowledge, and compete in the field of sharia economics.

  • Three FEB Students Win as Favorite Champion of MSME Financing Book Review Competition

    Three FEB Students Win as Favorite Champion of MSME Financing Book Review Competition

    Three exceptional students of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), claimed the esteemed title of Favorite Champion under the Students/General Category in the MSME Financing Book Review Competition. The book was written by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto. The three students, Yasir Ahmad Azumardi Azra awarded as 1st Favorite Champion, Sagita Wahyu Dewanti as the 3rd Favorite Champion, and Fahrur Rozie as the 5th Favorite Champion.

    The book entitled “MSMEs Financing” was launched in 2021, and discusses the strategic role of MSMEs to the Indonesian economy. It explores the remarkable resilience exhibited by MSMEs in facing various crises in the country. Moreover, the book sheds light on the challenges faced by these enterprises in securing financing, particularly through banking to obtain additional capital.

    The Registration for MSME Financing Book Review Competition was opened from April 17 to May 31, 2023, and managed to attract a total of 229 participants. The review competition is divided into 2 categories. The first category is designated for teachers/lecturers, and the second category is for students/general public.

    Though the winners were announced on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, the virtual competition organized by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, hosted a separate winner award ceremony on Tuesday, June 27, 2023.

    The judging process for this review competition was carried out on June 1-9, 2023, led by the Chairman of the Board of Jury, Iskandar Simorangkir as the Expert Team of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy. The members of the Board of Jury consist of the Plt. (Acting Officer) for the Deputy for Macroeconomic and Financial Coordination of the Coordinating Ministry of Economy, Ferry Irawan; Editor-in-Chief of InfoBank Magazine, Eko B. Supriyanto; PEBS Advisor at Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia, Nining Soesilo Indroyono; and Director of Tempo.co (PT Info Media Digital), Y. Tomi Aryanto.

    After the competition, Yasir said that in compiling the book review there were obstacles, especially managing the time between reviewing the book and other assignments, since the deadline for the book review submission and other lecture assignments fell on the same date. “I’ve not read the book before. Thus, I have to read the book first, of course with screening techniques, thus, I only need a short time to read. That way, the drafting process takes approximately a week before the deadline for review collection,” he said.

    According to Sagita, writing a book review is quite difficult because the reviewer must read the entire contents of the book first. However, they also need to pay attention to the composition of the book to find the weaknesses and excellence of the book. “It can’t be done in a short time actually, but I finish it in 3 days.”

    Meanwhile, Fahrur said that at first he was not interested in participating in the competition, but in the end, he tried. “I happen to have the book on MSME Financing by Mr. Airlangga Hartanto. I finally tried to start writing the review at 20.00 pm on the final day of the submission day,” he said.

    The three FEB students were grateful because in the competition, with more than 200 participants, they won the Favorite Champion title.

  • Tiga Mahasiswa FEB Raih Juara Favorit Lomba Resensi Buku Pembiayaan UMKM

    Tiga Mahasiswa FEB Raih Juara Favorit Lomba Resensi Buku Pembiayaan UMKM

    Tiga Mahasiswa Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis (FEB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) berhasil menjadi Juara Favorit Kategori Pelajar/Mahasiswa/Umum pada Lomba Resensi Buku Pembiayaan UMKM Karya Menteri Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian, Airlangga Hartarto. Ketiga mahasiswa tersebut,  Yasir Ahmad Azumardi Azra memperoleh Juara Favorit I, Sagita Wahyu Dewanti Juara Favorit III dan Fahrur Rozie Juara Favorit V.

    Buku yang berjudul “Pembiayaan UMKM” diluncurkan pada tahun 2021, membahas peran strategis UMKM terhadap perekonomian Indonesia, bagaimana ketahanan UMKM dalam menghadapi berbagai krisis yang terjadi di Indonesia, serta tantangan UMKM dalam mengakses pembiayaan terutama melalui perbankan untuk memperoleh tambahan modal.

    Pendaftaran Lomba Resensi Buku Pembiayaan UMKM dibuka sejak 17 April hingga 31 Mei 2023, dan berhasil menjaring total peserta sebanyak 229 orang. Lomba resensi terbagi menjadi 2 kategori yaitu kategori 1 untuk guru/dosen, sedangkan kategori 2 untuk pelajar/mahasiswa/umum.

    Kompetisi yang digelar secara online tersebut diselenggarakan oleh Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian Republik Indonesia dan diumumkan pada  Rabu, 21 Juni 2023 serta penganugerahan juara dihelat pada Selasa, 27 Juni 2023

    Proses penjurian lomba resensi ini dilaksanakan pada 1-9 Juni 2023 dengan Ketua Dewan Juri yaitu Iskandar Simorangkir selaku Tim Ahli Menko Perekonomian. Adapun anggota Dewan Juri terdiri dari Plt. Deputi Bidang Koordinasi Ekonomi Makro dan Keuangan Kemenko Perekonomian Ferry Irawan, Pemimpin Redaksi Majalah InfoBank Eko B. Supriyanto, Penasihat PEBS Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis Universitas Indonesia Nining Soesilo Indroyono, dan Direktur Tempo.co (PT Info Media Digital) Y. Tomi Aryanto.

    Usai lomba, Yasir menceritakan, dalam menyusun resensi buku tersebut ada kendala terutama mengatur waktu antara membuat resensi dengan tugas-tugas  lainnya karena pada saat itu deadline pengumpulan resensi dan semua tugas dalam waktu yang sama.

    “Saya belum pernah membaca buku tersebut. Jadi mau tidak mau saya harus membaca buku itu terlebih dahulu, tentunya dengan teknik screening agar waktu yang digunakan untuk membaca efisien. Dengan begitu, proses penyusunannya membutuhkan waktu kurang lebih seminggu sebelum batas akhir pengumpulan resensinya” ungkapnya.

    Menurut Sagita, menyusun resensi buku cukup sulit karena sebelum menyusun resensi harus membaca secara keseluruhan isi buku terlebih dahulu. Membacanya tidak sekedar membaca tetapi juga memperhatikan bagaimana susunan buku tersebut untuk mencari kelemahan dan kelebihan dari buku tersebut.  Tidak bisa dilakukan dalam waktu singkat sebenarnya, tapi saya menyusunnya dalam 3 hari.

    Sementara itu Fahrur menyampaikan bahwa pada awalnya belum tertarik untuk mengikuti kompetisi tersebut, namun pada akhirnya ia mencoba.

    “Kebetulan saya punya buku Pembiayaan UMKM Karya Bapak Airlangga Hartanto, saya akhirnya mencoba mulai menulis resensinya pukul 20.00 di tanggal terakhir deadline pengumpulan karya” ungkapnya.

    Ketiga mahasiswa FEB  bersyukur karena di kompetisi yang diikuti oleh lebih dari 200 peserta tersebut, mereka mendapatkan Juara Favorit.
