Business Climate perspective based on different Categories of SMEs   

Despite the majority opinion of the SME exporters indicated that there are no 

change to the business climate, however, figure 3.3.3 below; show that there are 

different perspectives of business climate based on the different categories of 

SME exporters. The comers or trading SME exporters were among the main 

group that claimed that business climate is getting worse. Similar, the same 

indication by the SME exporters with smaller yearly turnover, and SME exporter 

operate by local shareowner. This condition is quite interesting, due to the fact 

that mostly foreign invertors were the one who usually complained about the 

business climate in Indonesia.
