Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of macroeconomic conditions on third-party funds at Bank BCA. The independent variables analyzed include inflation, the US Dollar exchange rate, and interest rates, while the dependent variable is the third-party funds from 2016 to 2021. Employing multiple linear regression analysis through EViews 9, the findings reveal that the independent variables collectively exert a significant influence on third-party funds at Bank BCA. Specifically, inflation demonstrates a negative correlation with third-party funds, indicating that rising inflation adversely affects deposit levels. Conversely, the US Dollar exchange rate shows a positive relationship, suggesting that a stronger dollar enhances third-party fund accumulation. Additionally, interest rates negatively impact third-party funds, highlighting the sensitivity of depositors to changes in interest rates. These results underscore the importance of macroeconomic stability in fostering a conducive environment for bank deposits, particularly in the context of Bank BCA.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing regional revenue in East Java's regencies, focusing on the roles of taxes, levies, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), and population dynamics. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research analyzes data from various regencies over a specified period, employing multiple regression analysis to assess the relationships between the independent variables and regional revenue. The findings reveal that both taxes and levies significantly contribute to increasing regional revenue, while GRDP demonstrates a positive correlation, indicating that economic growth enhances revenue generation. Additionally, population dynamics are shown to influence regional revenue, with higher population densities leading to increased tax and levy collections. The study underscores the importance of effective tax policies and economic planning in optimizing regional revenue, providing valuable insights for policymakers aiming to enhance fiscal sustainability in East Java. Future research is recommended to explore the impact of additional socio-economic factors on regional revenue generation.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of regional financial independence in East Java, Indonesia, focusing on the influence of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, intergovernmental transfers, and the working population over the period 2014–2023. Using a panel data regression model with a fixed-effects approach, we analyze data from 38 regencies/cities, sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance. Results reveal that GRDP per capita and the working population significantly enhance financial independence, while intergovernmental transfers exhibit a negative impact. Specifically, a 1% increase in GRDP per capita elevates financial independence by 1.34%, and a 1% rise in the working population contributes 1.56% to independence. Conversely, transfers to regions, though intended to support decentralization, reduce independence by 1.89% for every 1% increase, reflecting over-reliance on central government funding. The adjusted R-squared value of 93% indicates robust explanatory power of the model.These findings underscore the critical role of local economic productivity and labor market participation in fostering fiscal autonomy, while highlighting the need for strategic reallocation of transfer funds to stimulate local revenue generation. The study concludes that policies prioritizing investment in high-productivity sectors and job creation are essential to reduce dependency on central transfers and strengthen regional financial resilience.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of accounting practices in Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Awunio Village, Kolono District, Indonesia, focusing on compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with BUMDes management and documentation analysis. Findings reveal that BUMDes in Awunio Village has not fully adhered to SAK EMKM requirements, reporting only chair rental income and expenses without presenting a balance sheet, profit/loss statement, or financial notes. This deficiency stems from a lack of training on standardized financial reporting, limiting transparency and accountability. The study highlights the need for capacity-building initiatives to enhance financial literacy among BUMDes managers and align reporting practices with regulatory frameworks. Results underscore the importance of robust financial management in sustaining rural enterprises and achieving community economic development. The research contributes to the discourse on micro-enterprise governance in Indonesia and offers actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to improve rural financial ecosystems.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digital capability, digital literacy, and digital infrastructure on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Banjarbaru, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with a sample of 387 MSMEs, the results reveal that all three variables significantly and positively influence MSME performance, with digital capability having the strongest effect (coefficient = 0.352), followed by digital literacy (0.285) and digital infrastructure (0.223). Despite high adoption rates of digital communication platforms (e.g., 99.5% for WhatsApp Business and 94.6% for social media), significant gaps were identified in digital business management aspects, such as digital bookkeeping (27.9% adoption). The model explains 64.74% of the variation in MSME performance. The study recommends five key programs—Digital Business Transformation, Digital Creative Hub, Tech Funding Access, Digital Talent Pool, and MSME Digital Market Network—to enhance the digital competitiveness of Banjarbaru’s MSMEs. These initiatives require collaboration among government, academia, and the private sector to address structural challenges and leverage digital opportunities in the region. The findings highlight the critical need for targeted interventions to bridge digital implementation gaps and optimize the adoption of digital technologies for sustainable MSME growth.
