TARAKAN – Wali Kota Tarakan dr. H. Khairul M.Kes mengapresiasi program Pengembangan Kapasitas Usaha (PKU) bertajuk ‘Taka Pandai Digital’ yang dilaksanakan PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM). Wali Kota menilai, kegiatan ini penting untuk diikuti pelaku UMKM, seiring perkembangan zaman yang telah memasuki dunia digital.
“Kita pandai digital maka UMKM itu akan tumbuh menginspirasi. Karena sekarang pasar terbesar adalah pasar online. Orang di rumah bisa bekerja, bisa membuat usaha, tanpa harus punya toko, alatnya adalah digital. Maka kalau ibu-ibu tidak menguasai digital, jadi masalah,” ujar Wali Kota dalam sambutannya di Kayan Multi Fuction Hall Hotel Tarakan Plaza, Sabtu (4/2/2023).
Wali Kota juga mengapresiasi peran PT PNM bersama mitranya seperti Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) dan Pegadaian dalam memberikan modal bagi pelaku UMKM.
“Atas nama pemerintah, saya menyampaikan terima kasih kepada PNM Tarakan beserta tim dari BRI, Pegadaian, yang sudah memberikan bantuan atau pun permodalan kepada masyarakat Tarakan,” ujar Wali Kota.
Mantan Sekretaris Daerah (Sekda) Tarakan ini membeberkan, UMKM tumbuh pesat di Bumi Paguntaka. Di awal menjabat pada 2018, jumlah UMKM hanya sekira 7 ribuan. Namun, pada September 2022, jumlah mencapai 28 ribuan UMKM, meningkat hingga 400 persen.
Wali Kota menilai, dampak pandemi Covid-19 menjadi salah satu faktornya. Karena saat merebak, terjadi pemutusan hubungan kerja yang membuat kaum ibu turut membantu dalam menopang perekonomian keluarganya.
Namun, Wali Kota mengakui, peran UMKM sangat besar dalam menunjang perekonomian Tarakan. Di mana, 93 persen lapangan usaha dibuka oleh UMKM. Hanya 7 persen yang bekerja di perusahaan besar.
Selain itu, Wali Kota juga menilai, pertumbuhan ekonomi Tarakan yang di atas rata-rata pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional, juga ditopang sekira 87 persen dari UMKM. Ini menunjukkan UMKM menjadi pangsa pasar yang baik bagi permodalan.
“Itulah sebabnya kenapa pemulihan ekonomi Tarakan itu jauh lebih cepat dibanding beberapa daerah secara nasional. Karena kita memang lebih banyak bergerak di sektor UMKM,” tutur Wali Kota.
Karena itu, Wali Kota mengharapkan jumlah nasabar PT PNM bisa bertambah. Karena jumlahnya baru mencapai 4.600 nasabar. Sementara jumlah UMKM di Tarakan sudah mencapai 28 ribu.
Sementara itu, kepada pelaku UMKM, Wali Kota berharap bisa naik kelas agar bisa membuka lapangan usaha lebih banyak lagi.
“Harapan kita ibu-ibu semua naik kelas. Jangan terus menerus di mikro, enggak mau naik kelas,” harap Wali Kota.
Pemkot Tarakan sendiri terus mendukung berkembangnya UMKM. Di antaranya dengan mewajibkan pengusaha retail mengakomodir produk UMKM lokal minimal 30 persen.
Namun, Wali Kota juga mengingatkan pelaku UMKM agar dapat menyesuaikan dengan standar yang ditetapkan pengusaha retail. Seperti harus ada label halal, kemasannya bagus dan lain-lain.
Sementara itu, Pemimpin Cabang (Pemcab) PT PNM Tarakan, Irwan Razak mengakui, kegiatan ini merupakan bagian dari program yang dijalankan PT PNM.
“Kami memberikan modal dalam tiga bentuk. Pertama adalah modal usaha pada ibu-ibu. Tidak berhenti sampai di situ, kami juga memberikan modal finansial dalam bentuk literasi-literasi, baik tata cara pengembangan, mengelola usaha dalam hal ini bukan produknya, tetapi juga bagaimana mengelola keuangannya, bagaimana cara mereka bertransaksi yang baik,” ujarnya.
“Sebagaimana kita ketahui saat ini era perkembangan teknologi sangat pesat, dirasa sangat perlu bagaimana mengelola keuangan secara baik. Kami juga mengedukasi para nasabah kami bagaimana keuntungan usahanya dapat diinvestasikan secara baik dan benar,” lanjut Irwan Razak.
Ini merupakan rangkaian kegiatan pengembangan kapasitas usaha yang bertujuan membiasakan para nasabahnya yang didominasi kaum wanita, membangkitkan semangat gotong-royong dalam hal mengelola usaha, termasuk pengelolaan angsuran serta pengeluaran yang baik.
Kegiatan tersebut juga didukung oleh Bank Rakyat Indonesia BRI) dan PT Pegadaian. Ini sebagai bentuk sinergitas perusahaan BUMN dalam rangka mengembangkan UMKM.
Selain dengan sesama BUMN, pihaknya juga membangun sinergi dengan instansi lain yang memiliki kesamaan program terhadap pengembangan UMKM yang tergabung dalam Teman UMKM. Dengan sinergitas itu, ia meyakini pengembangan UMKM akan lebih maksimal lagi.
Diakuinya, jumlah nasabah PT PNM tumbuh pesat di Tarakan. Data terbaru hingga Februari 2022, telah mencapai 4.600 nasabah. Yang terbagi ke dalam kurang lebih 600 kelompok.

A number of Kenya betting sites have started offering the Simulated Reality League (SRL) and it has quickly become very popular due to the fact that most sporting events have been postponed and punters have been on the lookout for alternative betting options. Best over 2.5 goals team stats for today Simple. You will bet as you would normally have bet if it were a match by real teams playing in real time. This is the entire point of a betting product like SRL. It is trying to as closely as possible mimic how the real game would have played out. This means that you should use the same mentality, strategy and historical stats to make inform the bets you place. Unlike other “virtual” soccer games, SRL matches are based on historical data and variables and not a RNG like a slot machine. This means that your “skills” and knowledge for typical soccer betting means as much here as it does for real-life soccer games.

The birth of two rivalries – Chelsea vs Barcelona and Jose Mourinho vs football. After a 2-1 first-leg defeat at the Camp Nou where Didier Drogba was sent off, Mourinho accused Barça counterpart Frank Rijkaard of going into referee Anders Frisk’s room at half-time for a little chat. The Swede later received death threats and soon quit football.
