The granting of credit relaxation has caused polemics in the early days of the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, several industrial sectors have experienced unworkable conditions. Companies in this industry are not able to pay off their financial obligations to the Banking or Financing Company. The government asked financial industry players to provide credit relaxation. This was conveyed by the government, however, without being included with fixed procedures and direct communication with business players. In addition to this relaxation, there is a systemic risk. This research is in the form of qualitative research. This research focuses on the effect of credit relaxation on the finance and banking industries. This research proposes that the government determines the overall policy. Businesses, finance companies, and banks focus on the implementation procedures controlled by the Financial Services Authority. The government needs to take a more aggressive and comprehensive policy towards relaxation policies so that this relaxation policy can be carried out correctly to support the economy of small and medium enterprises again. If this policy is not comprehensive, it is feared that it will create higher new risks to the financial sector and the national economy.

Capital is a problem that is often faced by start-up companies and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). On the other hand, these activities are often the choice of Indonesia's lower and middle class as an effort to improve their economy. For this reason, the Government through the Financial Services Authority (OJK) provides steps to raise capital through a crowdfunding method using information technology (equity crowdfunding / ECF). ECF activities are a solution for start-ups and MSMEs to raise capital in ways that are almost similar to Initial Public Offering (IPO) activities by involving publishers, organizers, and investors. Unfortunately, even though it has been going on since 2018, business activities using the ECF as a real effort to provide additional capital have not been maximally implemented. This is because there are several records that can hinder the optimization of the ECF itself, such as the Investors criteria, shares Flexibility, and maximum securities ownership. This research is normative legal research using a conceptual approach, a statutory approach, and a comparative approach and the development of ECF regulations in Indonesia and reformation on investor limitation law in the ECF in Indonesia as research problems. The results of this study indicate that the application and regulation of the ECF in Indonesia still have various deficiencies. Therefore, a solution is needed by adopting several provisions in Regulation A + in America as an effort to overcome these deficiencies.

In many developing countries, obtaining financial services at affordable rates and fair terms has been a significant challenge for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). However, this issue has not been paid much attention in Vietnam, even though SMEs account for about 95% of total enterprises and the financial market of the country has not been well developed. This study investigates the causal effects of access to finance on productivity of SMEs operating in the manufacturing sector in Vietnam. Productivity was measured as the total factor productivity (TFP) obtained by production function estimation using the Levinsohn and Petrin approach. Regarding financial accessibility, two factors covered the extent to which firms might have a bank loan or overdraft facility were employed. To study the causal inferences of access to finance on firm productivity, the research adopted the difference-in-differences (DID) approach, as well as the propensity score matching (PSM) coupled with DID technique. The empirical results indicated that improving the financial accessibility could directly enhance firm productivity. Particularly, it was shown that firms having access to a bank loan could significantly improve TFP by approximately 8.6% in the DID model and about 9% in the PSM-DID model. Meanwhile, the firm average TFP increased by approximately 12.3% and 15.7% in simple DID and PSM-DID models, respectively, when firms had an overdraft facility. These findings suggest that the government should put more effort into assisting SMEs in generating bankable projects, and create a sound and healthy financial environment to stimulate firms’ access to finance, which will ensure their sustainability and growth.
