Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes, especially to each country's economic and financial sectors. Economic growth in Indonesia experienced a contraction entering mid-2021. This also impacted limiting economic activity, decreasing household consumption, unemployment risk, and increased poverty. In addition, there are changes in people's behavior, such as digital financing systems, non-cash payment systems, and online buying and selling transaction systems. Efforts to improve the economy are encouraged by stimulating people's economic productivity through adaptation to digital technology developments, especially using digital finance. However, the development of digital finance needs to be supported by public financial literacy and inclusion so that it can positively alleviate poverty. This study aims to analyze the impact of financial technology lending on poverty in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic using instrumental variable analysis (IV) for 2019-202. The results of the study show that fintech lending has a negative effect on the poverty rate. However, it is not significant when other variables are added. E-commerce and the use of credit cards have a negative and significant impact on the poverty rate in Indonesia. In maximizing the role of Fintech in Indonesia, support and cooperation from the government, financial institutions, and various relevant stakeholders are needed.

Abstract

Health is a precious basic human right. Prevention is better than cure, the jargon is common among the public. However, in its implementation, this is difficult to apply due to various factors, one of which is limited knowledge about how to prevent disease. People in Kandang Limun Village in Bengkulu City are included in the level of urban communities that are identical to living in dense settlements and relatively large populations with diverse characteristics. One of the problems faced by urban residents is the spread of infection from microorganisms (germs and viruses) originating from the surface of objects such as floors, tables, chairs, etc. The use of disinfectants is one solution to overcome these problems. The limited household budget to provide specially purchased disinfectants can be overcome by making their own disinfectants from materials at home.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered economic shocks that adversely affected the global economy. Economic growth contracted significantly. Restrictions on economic activity trigger people's shopping behavior to switch to non-cash and online systems. E-commerce, as one part of digital economic transformation, has experienced a significant increase which impacts the flow of dissemination of ideas, innovations, and information, thus encouraging economic growth. This study analyzes the Impact of e-commerce on economic growth in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic using intermediation models and fixed effect analysis. The results show that e-commerce negatively and significantly impacts economic growth during 2019 and 2021. Because e-commerce stimulates economic growth in a country but needs to be supported by quality infrastructure, quality broadband internet, online security (cyber security), and digital payment systems (e-payment). The variables of online financing, efficiency of government spending, length of schooling, and number of tourists have a positive and significant effect. Meanwhile, the poverty rate and human development index have a negative and significant effect. In maximizing e-commerce activities in Indonesia, strong support and collaboration from the government, financial institutions, and the Ministry of Communication and information technology are needed.
