Research aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the credit distribution level used as working capital assistance for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a sample of 8 cities/regencies in East Java. Meanwhile, the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit recipients were the population of the sample areas. This research's analysis model was panel data regression (generalized least square) by considering the emergence of heteroscedasticity in cross-section data between regional objects. The control variables outside the COVID-19 were the BI rate, third-party funds (TPF), and inflation.Research findings: This study’s results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact only on medium-sized business loans, while micro and small business loans are more resilient. Besides, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit was significantly positively influenced by TPF; inflation did not affect credit; the BI rate only negatively affected medium-sized business credit.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Studies on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit-related to economic phenomena and monetary policy have been widely carried out. However, the catastrophic virus that causes long-term economic uncertainty and impacts banks and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) still requires in-depth study. Also, this study employed the GLS model that considers heteroscedasticity, which is still rarely used in previous studies.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research can be essential information for the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan or OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) in policymaking, both regulatory aspects and bank liquidity provision, in stimulating Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) credit, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic era.Research limitation/implication: The impact of COVID-19 on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) loans is still classified based on micro, small and medium. It is still not grouped based on the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) business sector in various cities and regencies in East Java. The analysis has not been clustered based on the spatial concentration of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) recipient areas.

Islamic financing has been identified as an alternative to conventional financial services. However, the extent to which the Islamic financing model could drive small and medium enterprises' (SMEs) competitiveness has been a significant concern in the existing literature. Hence, this study investigates the impact of Islamic financing on SMEs' competitiveness.Adopting the survey research design, the study investigated 400 SME owners/managers in the Southern part of Nigeria. The study employed the ordinary least square regression in the analysis of data. The result establishes that Islamic finance is a significant driver of SMEs' competitiveness. The results specifically reveal that Islamic finance is critical in driving product price, customer experience, and quality of products. The practical implication of Islamic finance may reduce its operational cost since it comes at a no-interest rate while giving room for more innovative prices and customer-centric products at competitive prices. SMEs are to leverage on the opportunities provided by Islamic finance for them to adopt sustainable business practices

Meanwhile, financing has not significantly impacted fulfilling the welfare component’s capital needs  because the nominal value is too small. Furthermore, business assistance has a more significant impact on improving the business and spiritual aspects</em><em> of clients</em><em>.</em></p><p align="left"> </p><p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak penerapan keuangan inklusif pada Bank Wakaf Mikro Al-Fithrah terhadap pemberdayaan UMKM di sekitarnya. Meskipun sektor UMKM telah menjadi fondasi yang cukup sentral bagi perekonomian, keterbatasan permodalan masih menjadi masalah klasik UMKM. Hal ini mendorong pemerintah untuk mengeluarkan Strategi Nasional Keuangan Inklusif yang bertujuan untuk memberikan layanan keuangan yang dapat diakses seluruh lapisan masyarakat. Indikator keuangan inklusif yang terdiri dari akses, penggunaan dan kualitas diterapkan untuk mewujudkan pemberdayaan UMKM melalui pembiayaan dan pendampingan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif melalui pengumpulan data wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komponen keuangan inklusif telah diimplementasikan namun masih berpotensi untuk dimaksimalkan. Komponen akses dan penggunaan sudah terlaksana dengan baik dilihat dari segi fisik dan harga yang mudah dijangkau nasabah. Kedua komponen tersebut berdampak pada peningkatan literasi keuangan syariah nasabah. Pada komponen kualitas, variasi produk diharapkan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan modal nasabah yang berbeda. Sedangkan untuk komponen kesejahteraan, pembiayaan belum memberikan pengaruh signifikan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan permodalan karena nilai nominal yang terlalu kecil. Selain itu, program pendampingan usaha (HALMI) memiliki dampak yang lebih signifikan terhadap peningkatan usaha dan spiritual pelanggan.</p>

This study examines the impact of capital structure, working capital, and governance quality on the financial performance of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan using a sample of more than 2000 firms from the Taiwan Economic Journal (TEJ) during the 24-year period of 1995–2018. Panel data are used to create statistics for the regression model. The result shows that a firm’s capital structure, represented by the debt ratio, has a significantly negative impact on the firm’s financial measures (return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE)), where the working capital, represented by the cash conversion cycle (CCC), has a negative impact and governance quality, represented by the board size, cash dividend distribution, and the percentage of directors, has different impacts.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to empirically estimate the impact of a government microcredit program on the handloom weavers to promote small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bangladesh.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from 311 handloom weavers from the Sirajganj District of Bangladesh from July to December 2015 using a multistage sampling technique. The analysis was conducted using a two-stage least squares regression model incorporating instrumental variables to control for the probable endogeneity problem associated with the study.FindingsThis study finds that government microcredit had no significant impact on borrowers' investment in their business, whereas credit received from multiple sources other than government credit had a significant negative impact. Additionally, literacy level, household assets and the number of operational handloom units positively affected investment, while the number of non-operational handloom units and distance negatively affected the investment.Research limitations/implicationsThis study's findings are more specific for the selected case and may not be generalizable to all kinds of SMEs.Practical implicationsThe policy implications are targeted at increasing loan size based on the number of operational handloom units to improve the performance of government and other microcredit programs to facilitate the growth of SMEs in Bangladesh.Originality/valueThis study specifically focuses on estimating the financial performance of government microcredit programs for SME development within the handloom industry, which has not been sufficiently explored in the literature.
