Abstract

The digital economy is the main force driving economic transformation throughout the world, especially in Indonesia. The rapid progress of information and communication technology has caused various sectors to adopt digital platforms to increase operational efficiency and expand market access. This essay focuses on how Indonesian MSMEs, which are the backbone of the country's economy, can take advantage of the digital economy to increase their competitiveness. To be able to develop amidst increasing market competition, MSMEs must strategically integrate digital technology such as social media, fintech and e-commerce. This research uses qualitative methods, literature research and secondary data to highlight the benefits of the digital economy for MSMEs. Key benefits include improved operational efficiency and increased customer reach in both domestic and international markets. However, MSMEs face significant challenges in utilizing digital technology, including low levels of digital literacy, inadequate technological infrastructure in rural areas, and a lack of regulatory support for digital economic growth. The findings show that the digital economy encourages innovation in product development, marketing and business management, thereby providing opportunities for MSMEs to increase competitiveness. To overcome these challenges, collaboration between the government, private sector, educational institutions and the MSME community is needed to create an inclusive and sustainable digital ecosystem. The article offers strategic recommendations for optimizing the benefits of the digital economy for MSMEs, including supportive regulations, infrastructure development, and digital literacy training.

Abstract

This research explores the potential impact of blockchain technology on fincancial transactions in Islamic banking, addressing challenges related to security, transparency, and efficiency. Employing a multifaceted approach, the study assesses the benefits of blockchain in Islamic finance through literature reviews and empirical investigations. Notably, blockchain enhances the security of financial transactions by leveraging robust cryptocurrency and decentralized consensus mechanisms, thereby mitigating fraud and manipulation risks. Additionally, blockchain facilitates currency exchange, a critical aspect of Islamic banking, ensuring transparency and adherence to Sharia standards. The research identifies increased efficiency in Sharia banking operations as a key advantage of blockchain technology, attributing it to the automated processes that reduce organizational costs and transaction processing times. Furthermore, blockchain enables more streamlined cross-border transactions, reduces reliance on external entities, and enhances market liquidity. Despite these benefits, the study emphasizes certain challenges in implementing blockchain in Islamic banking, such as the need for youth education, establishing a robust infrastructure, and gaining community trust in new technologies. Successful integration requires collaboration among Sharia banking organizations, regulators, and stakeholders, with clear guidelines and a deep understanding of blockchain innovation. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for unlocking the full potential of blockchain in enhancing the security, transparency, and efficiency of monetary transactions within Islamic finance.
