The Indonesian Regional Development Bank was established to support regional economies by providing financing to small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas.
These enterprises often struggle to access funding from traditional banks, making it difficult for them to grow and develop.
The bank offers a range of financial products and services tailored to the needs of small businesses in rural areas, including loans, credit facilities, and advisory services.
