Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) aims to strengthen the industrial ecosystem in Indonesia through a collaboration with Baitul Maal Wat Tamwil (the Shariah Microfinance Sector).

Why it Matters?

Abdullah Firman Wibowo, Deputy President Director 2 of BSI, noted that the programme is BSI’s way of supporting the Shariah microfinance ecosystem in Indonesia. There are three areas of focus in developing the BSI micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) segment: linkage, non-linkage and micro patterns. BSI's collaboration with Shariah microfinance institutions is carried out through a linkage pattern, by which it intends to help distribute MSME financing to remote areas. In doing so, BSI aims to increase the synergy of Shariah banking with MSMEs.
