<![CDATA[Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a critical role in the economic development of many countries. Despite their importance, MSMEs face significant challenges, particularly in accessing appropriate financing. Sharia financing, grounded in Islamic principles such as profit-and-loss sharing and prohibition of interest (riba), offers a promising alternative.
