JAKARTA - Over four-fifths of Indonesian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have started to operate normal full hours, according to a March-April survey by Jakarta-based Mandiri Institute.
This survey highlights the increasing confidence among consumers and businesses in the grassroots that South-east Asia s largest economy has managed to curb Covid-19 infections and has stepped up its vaccination programme.
The survey on 505 respondents across Indonesia was conducted by the affiliate of Indonesia s second-largest lender Bank Mandiri.
It revealed that 84.8 per cent of the businesses have started operating normally. This compares with 35.2 per cent which operated on normal hours in the middle of last year - where another 34.5 per cent of them then operated on limited hours and 30.4 per cent were forced to close temporarily.
