Abstract

This study examines the intricate relationships between foreign direct investment (FDI), gross domestic product (GDP), imports, international trade, and food security in Southeast Asia. Utilizing panel data from 2002 to 2022, the research employs the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to analyze the dynamic interactions among these variables. The findings indicate that FDI significantly enhances both GDP and food security, highlighting its crucial role in the region's economic development. Conversely, while imports have a positive effect on GDP, GDP does not significantly influence import levels, suggesting that imports are more driven by external factors. Additionally, international trade positively affects imports but does not have a direct significant impact on food security. These results underscore the importance of fostering FDI and trade while also emphasizing the need for comprehensive policies that bolster domestic food production and economic diversification. The study concludes with recommendations for policy measures to create a more resilient and sustainable economic environment in Southeast Asia

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a critical role in promoting inclusive economic development in Indonesia by fostering job creation, regional growth, and poverty alleviation. MSMEs account for over 99% of businesses in Indonesia and employ more than 90% of the workforce, particularly in rural areas. Despite their significant contribution to the economy, MSMEs face numerous challenges, such as limited access to finance, technology, and burdensome regulations. This paper employs a qualitative approach to analyze the contribution of MSMEs to inclusive economic development in Indonesia. The data used is secondary data based on the collection of literature in the form of journals, books, and official websites. Findings suggest that while MSMEs are essential to Indonesia's economic growth, their potential is hindered by barriers such as inadequate access to capital and digital tools. The solution that can be an alternative for these challenges through targeted policy measures and increased collaboration between government, private sector, and civil society, MSMEs can play a more substantial role in driving inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Indonesia
