2.3.  Small and Medium Enterprise Exporters in Indonesia  

Since the economic crisis, the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) have become 

the major attention of the government and other international agencies. This major 

attention from the government is not only due to the fact that SME are more 

flexible to overcome the financial crisis, but more importantly because the SME 

were also the main sources of employments in Indonesia. As the government is 

now really working hard to help the development of SME, however, on the other 

hand the main sources of barrier to the development of SME were also in the hand 

of the government itself. 

This situation is mainly due to; first, government will always come up with 

protection and support policies that are contradicting with the needs of the SME. 

In most case the protection and support policies were always end up given to the 

one that actually does not require any support from the government. Furthermore, 

the extensive job opportunity created by SMEs, are extremely important to 

accommodate the growing unemployment prior to the collapse of the big 

companies. Total numbers of SME in Indonesia in 1996 were about 39 million 

units, comprising of 38,895,262 small scale enterprises and 41,173 medium scale 

enterprises according to BPS, 1999 (see tabel.2.7 below).
