Abstract

Microentrepreneurship significantly contributes to economic development in resource-rich regions like East Kalimantan, yet faces challenges due to low financial literacy and limited digital adoption. Existing research highlights the importance of financial literacy for business success, but underexplores the role of digital financial literacy and regional contexts. This study investigates how financial literacy and digital financial literacy influence microentrepreneur success, with financial planning as a mediating factor. Using a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, data were collected from 160 microentrepreneurs in East Kalimantan. The findings reveal that financial literacy directly enhances business success, while digital financial literacy impacts success indirectly through financial planning. The model explains 60.8% of the variance in microentrepreneur success, emphasizing the critical role of structured financial strategies. These results suggest that integrating digital tools into financial education can foster sustainable business growth.

Abstract

This study offers a comprehensive examination of the macroeconomic factors influencing domestic gold prices in Indonesia, emphasizing the mediating role of Rupiah exchange rate depreciation. Utilizing 70 monthly observations from January 2020 to October 2025, a timeframe marked by the COVID-19 pandemic's disruptions, supply chain challenges, and global monetary shifts, the research draws on economic principles such as the quantity theory of money and the monetary trilemma to test seven hypotheses on direct and indirect effects. Empirical results confirm strong long-run cointegration among the variables, but reveal weak short-run transmission from inflation and the BI Rate to exchange rate movements. Exchange rate depreciation emerges as a borderline statistically significant driver of gold prices, while inflation and the BI Rate are not statistically significant predictors.This pattern indicates that the limited explanatory power of inflation and the BI Rate reflects the dominance of external shocks, such as global capital flows and international monetary tightening, rather than a weakness of the empirical model itself. These findings indicate that currency dynamics, rather than domestic macroeconomic fundamentals alone, constitute the dominant transmission channel for gold price movements in Indonesia, highlighting the fragility of standard macro-financial relationships in an emerging-market context
