FinTech as a technology-based financial service, generally opens opportunities for increased efficiency in creating new business, better risk management and ease of transactions and trading activities. The limited access to capital resources (particularly banking) and with many SMEs that are unable to obtain financial services, is utilized by FinTech (P2P lending) practicioners as a good business opportunity at this moment. Fintech P2P Lending is considered able to overcome the problems of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and become one of the captial solution and empowerment strategy for SME in the future. This is because it enables small business owners or SME to get their capital in a shorter time with more simple terms and conditions, and also with the shorter loan period. It will be encouraging the development of SMEs, which will, in a long run, affect the equity level of welfare and the economy of the middle classes. As one of the majority Muslim countries, Indonesia should apply the FinTech-based financial transaction service pattern in accordance with the perspective in Islamic economics (Qirad). Where in lending the capital must be in accordance with the provisions set by God. In Qirad, it is stipulated that in lending the capital to others, then the lender has to know or understand what type of business will be done by the borrower.

In Indonesia after the Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998, wide reforms were carried out, and “inclusive” economic development were adopted. One component of inclusive economic development is “financial inclusion.” This implies an absence of barriers that might deter micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from obtaining financial services. However, the portion of bank credit received by MSMEs is still small. Therefore, financial technology (FinTech) is welcome as an alternative source of funding for MSMEs. This chapter discusses three related issues, namely financial inclusion, MSMEs, and P2P lending. It concludes that Indonesia still has a long way to go to achieve full financial inclusion. This chapter suggests that with the presence of P2P lending, the number of MSMEs, especially MSEs, in Indonesia that have access to formal financing will increase. Even though aggregate data are not available, the interviews with a small number of owners of MSEs who received P2P loans suggest that the presence of P2P lending companies give some benefits for MSEs.

This research focuses primarily on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Malaysia, with special reference to Perak State. It is widely recognised that the adoption and use of digital marketing applications change the ways in which organizations conduct their activities and represent a critical business opportunity for MSMEs. This opportunity will only be realised by MSMEs if, and when, digital marketing is applied to their organizations. This, therefore, creates a requirement to understand the factors that influence MSMEs in making the adoption decision. The research related to such factors is scarce, not least because the technologies are relatively new. By using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study, therefore, attempted to understand the predictors/factors influencing the decision making by MSMEs to adopt digital marketing applications. It employed a quantitative approach to meet the research objectives. A survey involving 369 MSMEs in Perak State was conducted to examine empirically the preliminary model. The survey data were analysed using Logistic Regression (LR) technique. Of the factors examined, technological and organizational contexts were found to have a significant influence on MSMEs’ decisions to adopt digital marketing applications. These findings have important implications and value for the research community, MSMEs and policymakers in terms of formulating improved strategies for digital marketing adoption and applications. The resulting research model proposed in this paper/article can improve these stakeholders’understandings on why some MSMEs have chosen to adopt digital marketing technologies, while other MSMEs which face similar market conditions have not.

The outburst of COVID-19 has not only distressed the economic and social activities of Indian economy but also the world economy as a whole. Out of different economic activities, the micro, small and medium Enterprises (MSMEs) affected a lot. This article attempts to measure the contribution of MSMEs towards Indian economy and also attempts to find out the challenges and problems in pre- and during COVID period. We have used different descriptive statistics to measure the impacts of MSMEs and also use of correlation and co-integration to measure the relationship among the variables such as number of MSMEs, investment amount, employment and output. This pandemic is an exceptional shock for MSMEs. It is evident that there is a high degree of significant positive correlation among the variables. Johansen’s co-integration analysis resulted in the rejection of the null hypothesis signifying the existence of long-run co-integrating relationship. Given the extensive COVID-19 chaos, the government needs to establish an ongoing monitoring system and declare urgent relief steps to improve the MSMEs sector’s confidence. E-market linkage for MSMEs should be promoted, and fiscal stimulus should increase for this sector. The Government of India should take various measures to improve Indian MSMEs and achieve the vision of Self-reliant India.
