As a bank with a primary focus on the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) segment, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BRI continuously encourages its customers, especially those in the People’s Business Credit (KUR) segment, to level up.
This was stated by the President Director of BRI during a Hearing Meeting with Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives that by the end of the second quarter of 2025, the number of KUR customers who successfully leveled up reached 574 thousand people, a significant increase compared to 286 thousand people in the first quarter of 2025. This means that in the last 3 months, nearly 300 thousand small business actors have successfully leveled up.
“This achievement shows BRI’s commitment not only to distribute KUR but also to encourage MSMEs to always level up,” he said.
He continued, in an effort to encourage MSMEs to level up, BRI has also provided comprehensive access and services through various empowerment programs. One of them is the BRILiaN Village program, which has fostered 4,625 villages and 41,217 business clusters throughout Indonesia.
Not only that, BRI also developed a learning platform for MSME actors through 54 BUMN Houses and expanded business digitalization through the LinkUMKM platform, which has been used by more than 12.9 million users, as well as improving competitiveness through the PARI platform with over 113 thousand users.
“All these initiatives are aimed at providing training access and opportunities so that MSMEs have high competitiveness,” he said.
For information, by the end of July 2025, BRI had distributed KUR amounting to Rp99.31 trillion, equivalent to 56.75% of the total 2025 allocation of Rp175 trillion. BRI’s KUR distribution is dominated by the production sector, which includes agriculture, fisheries, trade, industry, and other services, with a share of 63.88% of the total KUR distribution.
The agricultural sector is also a major contributor with financing reaching Rp44.11 trillion, equivalent to 44.42% of the total distribution. This achievement is in line with BRI’s commitment to strengthening the real sector and supporting national food security.
Persib Bandung has again released several of its players on loan. After previously loaning Zalnando to Persita Tangerang, this time it is the turn of several players to continue their careers at other clubs.
One player, familiarly known as Dado, has officially joined Bhayangkara FC.
Meanwhile, another player has been loaned to Malut United, and another will strengthen Persik Kediri until the end of the season.
The coach emphasized that this loan decision was made to give players the opportunity to develop more optimally.
Specifically, Dado and Dimas need playing time after being absent for quite a long time due to injury.
“They need to return to their best level, and for that they need to play regularly,” said the coach.
Before these three names, the club had also previously loaned Ferdiansyah to Semen Padang and Muhammad Adzikry to Persijap Jepara.
