SummaryThe government of Indonesia is running diverse public finance systems to support

SMEs and cooperatives that have sufficient growth potentials but no access to capital and the key public finance systems ran by the government include KUR program and interest subsidy scheme. KUR program is a public finance system, designed to provide operation fund and investment for SMEs based on the presidential order NO.6 of 2007, with an aim to promote economic growth, reduce poverty and increase employment. Interest subsidy scheme is a system to extend loan at lower interest rate than market rate for SMEs qualified for bank loan services. Under the system, banks take full risk but actual loan amount extended is not so high as industrial risk for agriculture and fishery, the main target industry of the scheme is relatively high.

After ASKRINDO, the credit guarantee institute in Indonesia became insolvent in executing subrogation payment twice in 1984 and 1995, it expanded its business scope to commercial guarantee and credit insurance and the service of public finance services had not been implemented except for KUR program since its foundation 2008. Business scope of Jamkrindo is also limited to private market guarantee service, including multi-purpose guarantee, except for KUR. In other words, commercial services and public functionalities are mixed in the business scope of the guarantee institutes and this makes it difficult to establish clear identity as a public institute. Also the functionality of public guarantee service remains relatively weak, despite long-term history of guarantee system. At the same time, development of internal

guarantee system is not sufficient due to lack of internal credit evaluation system and absence of accumulated data on SMEs credit information and credit research materials with IT system for direct guarantee service still in process of development.

Considering that the burden on the government is growing as guarantee fee for KUR is 100% paid by the government, it seems essential to apply BYOB rule to financial institutions and beneficiary companies to make sure financial institutions and SMEs to share the burden of government to ensure substantiality of the system. At the same time, given that the guarantee system first started at the Cooperative Guarantee Corporation, the predecessor of Jamkrindo and the targets are widely spread from the primary industries like agricultural, fishery and forestry to general SMEs like manufacturers and retailers/wholesalers, it seems essential to adopt “Choose and Focus” approach to achieve industrial objectives as well as financial objectively more effectively.

1. Analysis of Current Status and Financial Market of SMEs

1.1. Current Status and Financial Market of SMEs in Indonesia

1.1.1. SME Status of Indonesia The classification standard for SMEs in Indonesia is based on the Law No.20/2008

of the Small Business Act announced on July 4, 2008, which classifies SMEs into micro-enterprise, small enterprise and medium enterprise according to the scale of assets or sales. Lands and buildings of the business sites are not considered assets, and companies that are owned or invested by foreigners are not included in the SME.

As of 2012, the number of companies in Indonesia is a total of 56.5 million, where SMEs account for 99.9% of the total number of companies, accounting for 97.2% of all workers, 59.1% of GDP contribution rate and 14.1% of export ratio. The ratio of primary industries, including agriculture, forestry and fisheries, account for about 50%, while the ratio of wholesale and retail industries account for 28.8%, so that the ratio of primary industries is higher.

1.1.2. SME Financial Market of Indonesia

The banking sector accounts for 78.5% of total assets in the financial industry of Indonesia. As a single supervisory mechanism by the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), the banking sector is classified into commercial banks and local banks according to the district and scope of business, as well as classified into general banks and Islamic banks according to the method of distributing profits. As of the end of 2013, there are 120 commercial banks (11 Islamic banks) and 1,639 local banks existing. The number of commercial banks has become stagnant, but the number of branches continued to increase, showing improvement in financial access. Local banks are not connected to the central bank’s payment system, with restrictions on business areas, whereas Islamic banks are operated according to the Sharia, or the Islamic law. If there is a profit made, banks and lenders distribute the profit among themselves.

The share of SME loans decreased from 20.4% in 2012 to 19.4% in 2013. With SME ratio of 49.9%, small enterprise ratio of 30.6% and micro-enterprise ratio of 19.5%, loans are concentrated on SMEs. As for shares by industry sector, wholesale and retail industries account for 53.1%, manufacturing industries account for 9.9% and farming industries account for 7.9%. Since human capital and financial accessibility for loan underwriting are concentrated in the downtown area, the loan

ratio of wholesale and retail industries is quite high. Compared to the overall default rate, the default rate of SME loans is lower, while the default rate is maintaining 3.2% for the SME loan balance.

1.2. Current Status and Financial Market of SMEs in Korea

The classification standard of SMEs in Korea is based on Article 2 of the Framework Act on Small & Medium Enterprises, with the final amendment made on January 2012. Both the standard of scale (size criteria and upper limit by type of business) and the standard of independence (criteria for judgment according to the affiliation relation) have to be met to be classified as SME. The classification of SMEs is done according to the number of permanent employees, capital, sales or total assets by type of business, which is once more classified into micro-enterprise, small enterprise and medium enterprise according to the number of permanent employees. Starting from 2015, it will be simplified and changed into a method of looking at the three-year average sales by type of business (less than KRW 40 billion~less than KRW 150 billion according to type of business) and the upper limit for total assets (less than KRW 500 billion).

In Korea, there are 3.3 million SMEs in existence, accounting for 99.9% of total companies and 88% of jobs, to play important roles economically and socially. The ratio of service industry is high with the service industry 61%, the wholesale and retail business 28% and the manufacturing industry 11%.

1.3. SME Financial Market of Korea

The loan balance of SMEs in Korea is KRW 489 trillion (as of 2013), accounting for 34.3% of GDP and 42% of total loan balance. As for shares by industry, the manufacturing industry accounts for 38%, the service industry accounts for 20% and the wholesale and retail industry accounts for 16%. The access to SME loans is quite high with the SME loan ratio of more than 40% among total loans and more than 70% among business loans, where guaranteed loans account for 13.2%, secured loans account for 43% and unsecured loans account for 43.8%.

1.4. Comparison Analysis and Implications

Compared to other Asian countries, the ratio of SMEs in Indonesia and Korea are quite high with the contribution to GDP exceeding 40%, to play an important role in national economy. Indonesia classifies SMEs based on asset and sales standards and the ratio of primary industries like agriculture exceeds 50%. In the case of Korea, SMEs are classified according to the number of employees, sales and asset size by type of business and the ratio of service industries account for 60%. The micro-enterprise, small enterprise and medium enterprise in Korea account for 87%, 10.1% and 2.8%, respectively, while micro-enterprise, small enterprise and medium

enterprise of Indonesia account for 98%, 1.15% and 0.09%, respectively. Both countries show low ratios for small and medium enterprises, or the middle class, and since it is much worse in Indonesia, it requires policies that can strengthen the middle class. Indonesia includes farm workers and street vendors in the SME, making the scope of SMEs too wide. Since the ratio of SMEs to population is 22.5% (Korea 6.8%), it is necessary to divide between companies conducting business activities and the working class to operate different support methods and schemes.

The SME loan balance to GDP in Indonesia is 6.4% (Korea 38.9%), which is very low compared to neighboring Asian countries, showing relatively low level of development in the SME financial market. As for the SME loan balance to total loan balance, Korea is 42% and Indonesia is 20%, and the non-performing loan ratio of SMEs to total loan balance is 2% for Korea and 0.7% for Indonesia. Both the ratio of SME loan balance and the ratio of non-performing loans are at low levels in Indonesia. Therefore, it seems like SME loans are issued to mainly outstanding companies with good collaterals and high business values. The Indonesian government has recommended the ratio of SME finance to be maintained above 20%, but it is necessary to expand the ratio of SME loans through policy finances that increase guarantee supplies.

074 • 2014/15 Knowledge Sharing Program with Indonesia

In order to strengthen the financial accessibility of SMEs, Indonesia has continuously contributed capital to guarantee institutions, while also supporting funds to SMEs and cooperative associations through the extension of guarantees. Most guarantees are managed with the method of conditional automatic cover, which issue guarantees after corporate evaluation and loan approval by counter banks. Also, various support programs are being operated, including funds supplied to banks and non-banking financial institutions (venture capital companies, pawnshops, etc.) through the LPDB fund from the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs and other guarantee programs through local banks. The Ministry of Finance is in charge of the evaluation of budget performance, the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs is responsible for the execution of budget, including supporting guarantee fees and the OJK handles the supervision of banks and guarantee institutions.

2.1.2. SME Policy Fund

In order to support SMEs and cooperative associations that have growth potentials but lack in financial access, the Indonesian government is operating the policy finance system for beneficiaries in the following stages: Stage 1) direct subsidies; Stage 2) subsidies to support loans and agricultural machines; Stage 3) interest subsidies; and Stage 4) KUR program. The government support will be reduced gradually stage by stage, so that the ultimate goal of the policy is to enable the use of bank loans without the government’s help. Currently, the policy finance system that receives intensive support from the government can be divided into

the credit guarantee scheme and the interest subsidy scheme. The credit guarantee scheme includes KUR (Credit for Business) and the interest subsidy scheme operates five types of subsidies as follows:

• KPEN-RP: Credit for Bio Energy Development & Plantation Revitalization• KKP-E: Credit for Food Security • KPP NAD-Nias: Credit for Entrepreneur Empowerment at Province and Nias• KUPS: Credit for Breeding Cows Business• S-SRG: Subsidy Scheme for Warehouse Receipt

2.1.2.1. KUR (Credit for Business)

Based on the Presidential Decree No.6 of 2007, KUR program is a policy finance system established to support working capitals and investment funds for SMEs, with the purpose of reinforcing economic growth, reducing poverty and increasing employment. It is supported through 4 guarantee and insurance institutions (Askrindo, Jamkrindo, Jamkrida Jatim, Jamkrida Bali) and 33 counter banks.

In the case of KUR Micro with the IDR limit of 20,000,000, it is possible to receive support within an annual interest rate of 22% for credit inquiries on debtors without the provision of additional collateral. As for KUR Ritel with the IDR limit of 500,000,000, it requires credit inquiries on debtors and the provision of additional collateral (if necessary) within an annual interest rate of 13%. During the support period, the government pays for the full amount of the annual rate of 3.25% as guarantee fees.

Indonesian workers in agriculture, fisheries, forestry, manufacturing and those working abroad receive support for partial guarantee of 80%, while the workers in other industries are supported for the partial guarantee of 70%. The loan period of working capital is for up to 3 years, which can be extended up to 6 years, and the loan period of investment fund is for up to 5 years with extension of up to 10 years. In the case of farms, it is possible to receive guarantee supports for up to 13 years (no extension).

The cumulative amount of issuance for KUR program between 2007 and 2013 is 137.7 trillion IDR, showing a huge growth. The economic center of Java region received 48.6% of issuance, while wholesale and retail industries received 62.9% and agriculture and fisheries received 19.9%, showing low issuance in agriculture and fisheries unlike the policy goal.

2.1.2.2. Interest Subsidy Scheme

Interest subsidy scheme supports funds at a lower interest rate than market interests to SMEs that met the requirement of bank loans. The government pays the difference between the bank interest rate and the interest rate imposed on debtors. Banks cover all risk, but the results of issuance were not active because of the high industrial risks in agriculture and fisheries.

A. Credit for Food Security (KKP-E)

It selects support targets for crop and horticultural development, food and beverage, ranches and fishery. The bank interest rate ceiling is set at LPS (Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan, or Indonesia Deposit Insurance Corporation, the deposit insurance interest rate is announced every three months) rate+5%, with adjustments made after the reexamination on April 1st and October 1st. Interest rates are set at 6% for sugar cane growers and 4% for the rest. The difference with the bank interest rate is supported by the government, and there are 22 counter banks.

B. Credit for Bio Energy Development & Plantation Revitalization (KPEN-RP)

It targets palm oil, cocoa and rubber plantations. The bank interest rate ceiling is set at LPS rate+5%, with adjustments made after the reexamination on April 1st and October 1st. Interest rates are set at 7% for palm oil plantations and 6% for rubber and cocoa plantations. The difference with the bank interest rate is supported by the government, and there are 17 counter banks.

C. Credit for Entrepreneur Empowerment at Aceh-Nias region (KPP)

It targets direct and indirect victims of earthquake and tsunami in Aceh-Nias

region. The bank interest rate ceiling is set at LPS rate+5%, with the interest rate difference supported by the government but not for interests on extension and increase of funds. There are 4 counter banks.

D. Credit for Breeding Cows Business (KUPS)

It targets business operators related to breeding cows. The bank interest rate ceiling is set at LPS rate+6%, and there are 12 counter banks.

E. Subsidy Scheme for Warehouse Receipt (S-SRG)

It targets warehouse operators engaged in agricultural activities. The bank interest rate ceiling is set at LPS rate+5%, which is decided in January, April, June and October. The debtor’s interest rate is set at 6% during the loan period, with the difference with the bank interest rate supported by the government. There are 7 counter banks.

2.2. SME Credit Guarantee Scheme

Indonesia’s guarantee institutions consist of largely two institutions, Askrindo, which mainly provides non-financial guarantees and credit insurances on general SME loans, and Jamkrindo, which mainly handles financial loan guarantees on SMEs and cooperative associations. The characteristic of Askrindo changed into an insurance company, so that the position of Jamkrindo got relatively stronger in the guarantee part. In 1995, a private credit guarantee institution called PKPI

was established and currently in operation, but very small in size. Starting from 2010, credit guarantee companies like JAVA and Bali were established by local governments, with 10 local credit guarantee companies being operated and showing a continuous growing trend through government support. Let’s take a look at the credit guarantee scheme focusing on Jamkrindo, which accounts for more than 90% of the guarantee market in Indonesia.

2.2.1. Jamkrindo

2.2.1.1. History

In 1970, Jamkrindo was established as the credit guarantee corporation to support the cooperative associations of farmers. In 1981, it changed the name to the financial development corporation, to provide guarantee support on not only cooperative associations, but also SMEs (mostly in agriculture). In 2000, the name was changed to the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Corporation, while the coverage of guarantee was extended to all business types of SMEs to start direct lending operations based on the profit sharing system. In 2008, the company name

2.2.1.3. Method of Guarantee Evaluation

A. Conditional Automatic Cover

Certain requirements for guarantees are set by signing an agreement on comprehensive guarantee in advance with the financial institution. The guaranteed loan is first issued to companies that met the requirement, with the guarantee approved afterwards. Mostly small loans with low credit risks are managed through the method of conditional automatic cover, following the bank’s evaluation result without any separate procedures from guarantee institutions. Conditional automatic cover is applied to KUR guarantees and small-sum guarantees, where about 80% are supported by it.

B. Case by Case Cover

The method of case by case is applied to medium and large sum guarantees, and whether or not to support the guarantee is decided in a preliminary evaluation according to each case. Guarantees are supplied to companies that acquired a score of more than 70 points in the evaluation of checklist and score system, such as business outlook and productivity by guarantee product.

2.2.1.4. Performance

In 2013, the performance of guarantee supplies decreased, but the size of Jamkrindo’s guarantees showed a huge growth during the recent five years by increasing more than twice. KUR guarantees increased steadily from 5% in 2009 to achieve 46% in 2013. Since governmental support is provided on 3.25% of guarantee fees regardless of default rate, KUR guarantee has greatly contributed in improving the company’s profit structure. In 2013, KUR guarantee accounted for 46% of total guarantees and 66% of guarantee fee revenues.

The recent increase of default rates is because of the economic recession and the increase of KUR guarantees mainly supplied for low creditors. In 2013, the ratio of subrogation to guarantee fees was 56%, showing sound solvency. Defaults increased, but also there was a huge increase in the amount of debt recovery. After payment by subrogation, collateral is confirmed together with the bank to conduct the evaluation process of collateral value. Recovery activities for indemnity receivables are mostly implemented directly by creditor banks according to the agreement. Since there are many cases where banks own collaterals, the amount recovered from selling collaterals is distributed. Jamkrindo monitors the recovery activities of creditor banks and periodically makes evaluation.

Default rates of KUR guarantees and micro guarantees are increasing, but the overall default rates are a low level. Micro guarantees with relatively high default rates are very small in size, while KUR guarantees are being managed safely with the subrogation to five-year average guarantee fee revenues accounting for 37.05%. As for multipurpose credit guarantees, construction guarantees and commercial credit guarantees, guarantees are mainly supported to outstanding companies with less than 1% default rates.

2.2.1.5. Financial Position

In order to reinforce the role of credit guarantee institution to strengthen the financial accessibility of SMEs according to the Presidential Decree No.6 of 2007, Jamkrindo financed 600 Bil IDR in 2007, and since then until 2013, invested capitals of 5,239 Bil IDR. The current financial position is quite outstanding with more than 40% of five-year average asset and capital increase rate. Based on the stable revenues of guarantee fees resulting from increasing KUR guarantees, revenue size has continued to increase. As a result of the government’s continuous investments and profits earned, the capital has continued to increase, so that the operation multiple decreased from 34.73 times in 2009 to 14.82 times in 2013 to greatly reduce the risks of operation multiple. Taking into consideration that the legal operation multiple is 40 times, Jamkrindo seem to have sufficient capacity of guarantee supplies.

2.2.1.6. Guarantee Fees

Fixed guarantee fees of 0.5%~1.5% are charged for general guarantees and 3.25% for KUR guarantees. Guarantee fees are calculated according to risk of claim + overhead cost + margin. Taking into consideration that the default rates of general guarantees are quite low, there is a strong commercial aspect by adding overhead cost and margin to guarantee fees.

2.2.1.7. Risk Management System Jamkrindo established a risk committee, which is held regularly every three

months and also when there is a special agenda. It handles problems related to guarantee risk (guarantee default, payment by subrogation, debt recovery), Co-guarantee risk (partner companies), financial risk (liquidity) and market risk

(guarantee growth rate, investment returns, goal achievement). There isn’t an advanced evaluation system in place, such as its own credit ratings and prediction of default ratio. Since about 80% receive guarantee supports through the conditional automatic cover from the bank’s corporate evaluation, the overall risks are managed by using past materials on default rates by bank. Decisions on whether or not to support medium and large sum guarantees are made according to case by case cover. Evaluating items, including business outlook, productivity (evaluation of the quality of assets, debts and profits), repayment (loan needs, loan period, funding capability), the management (management ability, relationship between financial institution and guarantee institution, reputation), into good, average and bad and calculate the score by multiplying weighted value. If the score is more than 70 points, decisions on whether or not to support are made by taking into consideration of additional collateral value and bank information (past information on default rates). Besides KUR and small sum guarantees, it seems like guarantees are managed relatively conservatively.

2.2.2. Askrindo

2.2.2.1. History

In January 1971, Askrindo was established according to the government regulation No.1/1971 to support SMEs without access to the bank’s loan system due to lack of collaterals, with the Bank Indonesia and the Ministry of Finance as shareholders. Between 1974 and 1990, guarantees were provided to government loan programs that support SMEs, students and farmers. In 1996, operations were expanded to surety bonds, trade credit insurances and reinsurances. In 1999, credit insurances started, but supports stopped in 2005 because of massive losses. In 2007, KUR management agency was designated as the government guarantee scheme, to start insurance services, including fire insurances and accident insurances, from 2013. After experiencing the insolvency of subrogation twice in 1984 and 1995, operations were expanded to commercial guarantees and credit insurances, while policy-based guarantees reduced operations.

2.2.2.2. Guarantee Products

Askrindo’s guarantee programs include small loan insurance, trade credit insurances, surety bonds, customs insurances and KUR guarantees. After experiencing environmental changes at home and abroad, the ratio of commercial guarantees and insurances got bigger than policy guarantees. Starting from 2012, the supplies of small loan insurances (consisting of micro loans, public housing loans, consumer loans and construction loans), surety bonds and KUR guarantees greatly increased.

Chapter 2 _ Improvement Measures of the SME Policy Finance System • 085

2.2.2.3. Performance

Askrindo’s guarantee supplies showed substantial increase starting from 2012. However, even though the amount of guarantee supplies greatly increased, the ratio of subrogation amount to guarantee fee revenues decreased from 112% in 2009 to 37.9% in 2014. The earnings of guarantee fees greatly increased, while the generation of defaults seemed to decrease. Excluding KUR guarantees that belong to the government’s policy guarantee system, it is mostly concentrated on surety bonds and small loan insurances with low risks. The ratio of KUR guarantees increased up to 31% in 2013, accounting for 53.1% in the profit structure.

2.2.3. Regional Credit Guarantee Institutions

For the purpose of developing regional economy and increasing SME loans of local banks and commercial banks located in the region, regional credit guarantee corporations were established in various regions starting from January 2010. Credit guarantee institutions were established in regions like West Java, East Java, South Sumatera, West Sumatera, Riau, Bali and South Borneo, with continuous expansion in other regions. Regional credit guarantee institutions were established through capital investments of about 95% from local governments and about 5% from the welfare foundation of regional development bank. Only credit guarantee corporations in Java and Bali are operating KUR programs, which are expected to increase in the future. Indonesia is an island country consisting of many islands and taking into consideration of low level of regional development, it is expected that the role and necessity of regional credit guarantee corporations will continue to increase.

2.3.1.1. Financial Environment of SMEs

SMEs have low dependence on direct financing like stocks and corporate bonds compared to large companies. However, they have very high dependence on indirect financing through bank loans, so that it accounts for 98.5% of total SME finance as of the end of 2013, while the ratio of loans from non-banking financial institutions accounted for 1.1%. The dependence on indirect financing accounted for 99.6%, making it the largest part of financing methods for SMEs.

After the global financial crisis in 2008, the banking sector that had absolute position in SME finance reduced the ratio of SME loans, making it necessary to further strengthen the complementary role on the policy finance’s market failures since it was difficult for SMEs to cover capital requirements. Among the total business loans of banks, the ratio of SME loans came to 86.3% in 2007, but after the global financial crisis, it fell to 74.2% as of the end of 2013.

If you look at the ratio of SME loans by collateral type, the ratio of guaranteed loans increased from 10.2% in 2007 to 13.4% in the end of 2013. On the other hand, the ratio of credit loans dropped from 47.9% to 42.1% during the same period. This is because after the global financial crisis, banks applied strengthened prudential standards and took up conservative lending behavior to reduce credit exposure at times of economic uncertainty, which continuously stressed the need of SME policy finance as the financial accessibility of SMEs fell.

2.3.1.2. Characteristics of SME Finance and SME Policy Finance Support System

Compared to large companies, SMEs have insufficient management resources and low reliability of financial information with high asymmetries in information between financial institutions and SMEs, which is why financial institutions consider SME finance to be an area of high uncertainty in fund collection unlike large companies and household finances. In order to resolve problems of asymmetries in information, financial institutions ask for provision of collaterals, or submission of certified audit reports, but generally SMEs have lack of ability to provide collaterals or unable to provide sufficient information required by financial institutions, making it difficult to raise funds. Also, SME loans are small in size per case from the financial institutions’ point of view, but since there are too many cases of loans, lots of expenses are required to generate and evaluate information on individual loans, including high transaction costs related to loan management.

Due to these characteristics of SME finance, market failures frequently occur in the financial markets of SMEs, while the SME policy finance carry out the role of complementing market failures. Generally, SME policy finance aims to expand credit availability and improve financial accessibility, by fulfilling the role through support measures like credit guarantees, loans and investments. In the case of Korea’s SME policy finance support system, financial accessibility was improved by strengthening the weak collateral power and credit rating of SMEs through credit guarantee institutions like the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT), the Korea Technology Finance Corporation and regional credit guarantee foundations, while the credit availability of SMEs expanded through the financial funds of central government and local governments.

If you look at detailed support system by support institution, in the case of Korea, credit availabilities of SMEs are expanded indirectly through the financial intermediation loans and the compulsory ratio system of SME loans. In the case of financial intermediation loans, the Bank of Korea supports low-interest funds to banks within the aggregate credit ceiling based on the SME loan performance handled by financial institutions. As for the compulsory ratio system of SME loans, it is a system where financial institutions lend certain ratio (commercial banks at 45%, local banks at more than 60%) of the amount increased for loans in won to SMEs.

Credit guarantee institutions help SMEs get bank loans through credit or collateral enhancement, while the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT), the Korea Technology Finance Corporation and regional credit guarantee foundations provide guarantee supports mainly to Inno-Biz SMEs and micro-enterprises. As a policy fund enforcement agency under the Small & Medium Business Administration, the Small & Medium Business Corporation provides direct financing on low-interest policy funds and conducts proxy borrowing by delegating to financial institutions at the same time. As for the Korea Finance Corporation, it provides indirect financing by on-lending funds to financial institutions, while also sharing risks for some loans of start-up enterprises. In order to support regional SMEs and the industries under the jurisdiction of various ministries, the central government and local governments established financial funds, so that banks conduct proxy borrowing and support low-interest funds through the interest subsidy system.

Meanwhile, diverse SME support institutions provide supports through methods like credit guarantees, direct loans, indirect loans through banks (proxy borrowing) and investments, which raised overlapped support issues. However, efforts are made to prevent overlapped and excessive supports among policy finance institutions by ensuring major support measures of institutions are different, dividing up the credit rating of SMEs targeted for support, expanding credit loans for policy finance through the direct loan of Small & Medium Business Corporation and choice and concentration of support targets, including start-up and innovative enterprises.

2.3.1.3. Strength and Weakness of Policy Finance Systems for SME

Korean policy finance systems are categorized into loan, investment and guarantee schemes and the government organized each institution for the schemes. The institutions assist startups, micro, and small and mid-size of enterprises (SMEs) which private financial institutions are reluctant to support, and consequently they contribute to make up the weakness of market and enhance competitiveness of SMEs. Also, they drastically reinforced the functions and roles of a policy financial institution in order to overcome the Asian currency crisis and global finance crisis.

However, commercial banks or other policy financial institutions provide funds to enterprises that can easily access to finance and duplicate supports to such enterprises. Similar function and target of policy financial institutions cause competition and mainly they provide short-term working capital fund rather than long-term facility fund, related to an expansion of potential growth. Furthermore, policy finance is used as low-fee fundraising by SMEs, they are reluctant to enlarge their scale and be larger enterprise.

Specifically, credit guarantee schemes were amended market-friendly as problems such as oversupply of credit guarantee, duplicated supports were brought up. The schemes started to target startups, tech-oriented enterprises more and reduced the guarantee supports to stable enterprises. The government tried to improve guarantee schemes effectively by specializing KODIT and KOTEC’s

2.3.2. Current Status of SME Policy Finance Support System

2.3.2.1. Central Government’s Policy

The Small & Medium Business Administration (SMBA) is an administrative institution within the central government responsible for supporting SMEs, with the largest amount of SME policy finance being supported. SMBA’s policy finance is provided for support through its affiliated institution, Small & Medium Business Corporation. Based on the “Fund for the Establishment and Promotion of Small and Medium Businesses (SME Promotion Fund),” the SMBA raised funds and use it to implement the SME policy fund loan business. Sources of the fund include contributions and loans from the government, local governments and other entities, lottery profits, deposits received for the Public Capital Management Fund and fund operation profits, while bonds are issued with the money from the fund to be utilized as finances for policy fund loan business.

SME’s policy finance consists of 7 programs, including supporting start-up enterprises, which conduct the method of SMBA’s recommendation and proxy borrowing (indirect loan) of bank loan and the method of SMBA’s direct loan at the same time. SMBA’s loan businesses can be divided into the loan for expanding credit

Products like the loan for supporting start-up enterprises, the loan for financing the commercialization of development technology, the loan for supporting new growth infrastructure and the complex financial product for investments and loans are to support the expansion of credit availability of high-risk SMEs. Meanwhile, products like the loan for emergency management stability, the loan for conversion of business and the loan for micro-enterprise support are to support the ease of financial burden on SMEs. The loan for supporting start-up enterprises is biggest in size, showing continuous increase in loan size, while the loan for supporting micro-enterprises has also continued to increase.

Other ministries besides the Small & Medium Business Administration also utilize the funds to manage a variety of loan support system according to different fields. Each ministry implements diverse SME support programs through general accounts, special accounts and separate funds. Also, funds are supported through the method of proxy borrowing where consigned a financial institution conducts loan works by going through the screening and recommendation of affiliated institutions.

2.3.2.2. Local Governments’ Policy Finances

Each local government establishes their own finance that is separate from the central government to carry out the function of supporting policy finance for SMEs located in their region. Usually the fund raised by each local government are utilized to support the interest subsidies through the bank’s co-financing, showing the characteristics of being supported at low interest rates compared to the central government’s policy finance. As for the execution system, there are cases where it has consigned operation system through affiliated executive organizations like Seoul Metropolitan Government and Gyeonggi-do, or cases where it has consigned operation system through the financial institutions entrusted with the fund.

2.3.3. Operating Structure of Credit Guarantee Scheme

2.3.3.1. Meaning and Types of Credit Guarantee Scheme

Credit guarantee scheme is a system that promotes smooth financing of enterprises by having a credible institution guarantee the performance of obligation to the financial institution regarding enterprises that have difficulty in raising funds from financial markets, due to problems like asymmetries of information and lack of collaterals. Compared to other policy finance support measures like direct loans, indirect loans and investments, credit guarantees are widely used around the world as a favorable policy finance support method14) in improving the financial accessibility of SMEs and expanding the liquidity of policy-making authorities through collateral replacement and multiplier effect. In particular, during economic crises like the Asian financial crisis and the global financial crisis, Korea has implemented countercyclical countermeasures by actively increasing credit guarantees, showing the highest level

14) La Porta, Lopez-DeSilanes and Shleifer (2002) suggested two opinions on the government’s intervention in financial markets, including the opinion of development view that the government uses policy finance for the purpose of pursuing economic development and the opinion of political view that the government uses policy finance for political reasons.

of guarantee size to GDP in the world, excluding Japan.

Based on the operator, credit guarantee scheme can be divided into mutual guarantee scheme, public guarantee scheme and loan guarantee scheme, with difference in operation according to different economic conditions, level of development in financial market and goal of economic policies for each country. Korea supplies guarantees in the form of public guarantee scheme through separate and independent credit guarantee institutions, which are usually used in Asian countries like Japan and Taiwan, including Indonesia. Mutual guarantee scheme is mainly used in Europe, which is operated by raising funds through investments from members. Loan guarantee scheme is mostly used in the American continent, including the U.S and Canada. It is a system where there is no independent public credit guarantee institution, but a financial institution consigned with the duty issues loans according to the conditions set beforehand and compensate for losses if there is loss occurrence.

According to the establishment purpose of each organization set by applicable law, the three organizations implement credit guarantee works for SMEs, Inno-Biz SMEs and regional micro-enterprises. The Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) was established to promote smooth financing of SMEs by supporting credit guarantees to SMEs with weak collateral power, with innovative enterprises, export enterprises and start-up enterprises as major targets. The Korea Technology Finance Corporation was established for the purpose of facilitating finance to new technology businesses, with Inno-Biz and technology venture enterprises as major targets.

2.3.4. Major Status of Credit Guarantee Fund

2.3.4.1. Legal Characteristics

The Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) is a nonprofit and non-capital special corporation established according to the Credit Guarantee Fund Act. The fund is a corporate fund that was given the corporate entity to the aggregate of assets established to provide credit guarantees to enterprises. The fund has no members or employees like in a corporation and there is no concept of general meeting or shares of employees. The basic property of the fund was established mostly through contributions from the government and financial institutions, which are considered as donation under the civil law as a kind of endowment instead of an act of contribution. Therefore, it can be interpreted that contributors cannot ask for distribution of profits or have any rights to residual claims.

As a nonprofit corporation that does not pursue profit, the fund has the characteristics of a corporation for the public interest. The Credit Guarantee Fund Act stipulates that the purpose of the fund is for the balanced development of national economy, without the distribution of profit to contributors or any residual claims given to them. Also, the public interest of the fund is strengthened through establishing the fund with contributions from the government and financial institutions and appointing executives and supervising works by the Korean president and the Financial Services Commission.

2.3.4.2. Supervision of the Fund

The fund receives the supervision of the Financial Services Commission, and if it is necessary for supervision the Financial Services Commission may give orders. The fund is a public corporation operated with contributions from the government. As the main operation of the fund, credit guarantees aim to achieve a balanced development of national economy through guarantee supports on SMEs, while the operations of the fund are closely connected with the government’s economic policies, especially SME policies. Within the scope, business plans are set up and operated for credit guarantees. Therefore, in order to command and supervise affiliated organizations so that SME development policies can be executed effectively and consistently in a uniform way, the government has made ground rules that allow the Financial Services Commission to supervise and give orders to the fund as the competent authority.

2.3.4.3. Formation of Finance

Since the fund engages in a financial business of guaranteeing the debts of

enterprises with weak collateral power, it was necessary to establish a sound foundation of finance to maintain the fund’s own credibility and facilitate the implementation of business. To achieve this, the fund has formed the basic property through the following sources:

Since contributions from the government are decided according to the required annual amount of the government contribution budget for operating credit guarantees, it is not the same every year. Also, in order to ensure stable financing of basic property, there is a law obligation where financial institutions have to contribute the amount added or subtracted after applying differential rates (2/100,000) to the basic rate (currently 22.5/100,000) set by the Ordinance of the Prime Minister (enforcement regulation), within the scope of not exceeding an annual rate of 3/1,000. Financial institutions have to give monthly contributions to the fund by the last day of the following month. In 2013, a total of KRW 958.3 billion was collected in the basic property at the beginning of a period, including KRW 824.1 billion from legal contributions of financial institutions and KRW 64.2 billion from special contributions. As of the end of 2013, the basic property amount to KRW 5.9608 trillion.

2.3.4.4. Corporate Credit Rating System

The Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) developed the Corporate Credit Rating System (CCRS), to use it in works related to credit check, credit guarantee and credit insurance starting from 2001. Also, starting from 2007, the Start-up Business Scoring System (SBSS) was introduced and operated for the purpose of facilitating start-up enterprise guarantees by reflecting the characteristics of start-up enterprises. In 2009, the Automatic Rating System (ARS) was adopted for enterprises that require temporary screening, to simplify the checking and screening processes by deciding on whether or not to approve guarantees automatically. In 2010, the Kodit Valuation System (KOVAS) was developed, which integrated the credit rating and growth of enterprises, to establish a Corporate Credit Rating System (CCRS) that reflected the future value of enterprises. It provided an opportunity to conduct selective restructuring together with risk management, by developing a model for identifying marginal enterprises to differentiate between those that have the chances of survival and those that do not.

CCRS, which is the foundation of the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund’s credit rating system, calculates 15 credit ratings (KR1~KR15) by evaluating quantitative and qualitative factors affecting the credibility of enterprises with more than 3 years of business experiences, including financial risk, business risk and management risk, as an exclusive credit rating system for SMEs. Credit ratings are calculated by combining financial, quantitative non-financial and purely non-financial factors (expert judgment).

2.3.4.5. Guarantee Types and Type of Business

In 1974 at the time when the Credit Guarantee Fund Act was enacted, there were only four types of guarantees, including loan guarantees, guarantees of payment, bond guarantees and tax payment guarantees, but guarantee types have continued to expand to a total of 11 types due to the emergence of new financial products, changes in commercial transaction methods between companies and the necessity of national economy. Currently, it is possible to get guarantee supports on all types of financial forms, including indirect financing, direct financing, guarantees on commercial transactions between companies and guarantees on taxation. In particular, loan guarantees are credit guarantees on “money debts of enterprises that have with financial institutions by getting the loan of funds from financial institutions,” known as the most general form of guarantee in the credit guarantee scheme and accounting for the largest part of credit guarantee supports. Since the most common method of external financing for the working funds of enterprises, or the facility funds required for purchasing facilities and investing in facilities, is to borrow from financial institutions, loan guarantees account for 85.3% of total guarantee balance as of the end of 2013.

Meanwhile, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) has regulated enterprises targeted for credit guarantees as “individuals, corporations and their groups engaging in business,” without setting a limit on the type of business in the law. However, from the aspects of managing guarantees, the type of business is limited so

that enterprises engaging in industries with high contribution to national economy can get the support from the limited resources of finance. Regarding speculative and unhealthy entertainment industries and other industries with the potential of raising speculation in real estates, guarantee supports have been continuously strengthened on businesses with high contribution to national economy and huge impact on the related industry, such as identifying businesses that require limitation on guarantees or need caution in handling guarantees to manage them with heightened discretionary powers. As of the end of 2013, guarantee balances of the wholesale and retail industry and the manufacturing industry accounted for 76.1% with 43.1% and 33.0%, respectively.

2.3.4.6. Guarantee Rates

Partial guarantee is a guarantee system where guarantee institutions and financial institutions cover certain ratio of losses on guaranteed loans. There had been active discussions about implementing it in the past, but due to lack of surrounding situations the implementation had been on hold, which was adopted after the Asian financial crisis for the purpose of promoting the soundness of guarantees and preventing the moral hazard of financial institutions, by strengthening loan underwriting and follow-up management. In December 1998, along with the increase of consignment guarantee institutions, all of the consignment guarantees were managed as 70%~80% partial guarantees by institution. In April 1999, direct guarantees were also managed as partial guarantees by differentiating base partial guarantee rate according to types of contribution institution, non-contribution institution and target funds, to be implemented in phases to minimize the shock resulting from full implementation. Currently, the base guarantee rate is applied with different rates according to credit ratings of enterprises and guarantee periods, and the base guarantee rate according to credit ratings and guarantee periods are as shown below.

2.3.4.7. Guarantee Fee

In June 2001, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund changed the evaluation operating system from the existing total judgment system to the total evaluation system based on corporate credit rating system, to adopt and manage differential guarantee fee ratios by credit rating for guarantee fees. In September 2004, the spread of guarantee fee ratio by credit rating was expanded, while the application of simple add-on ratio by guarantee period was abolished. Starting from January 2006, it is

managed with the method of applying the add-on rate and the deducted rate to guarantee fee rate one at a time according to total credit ratings, followed by giving the adjustment right on guarantee fees. When handling guarantees, the add-on rate and the deducted rate are applied and calculated one at a time to the guarantee fee rate according to total credit ratings based on the Corporate Credit Rating System (CCRS), within the scope of minimum of 0.5% and maximum of 3.0% for guarantee fee rates.

3. Improvement of SME Policy Finance

3.1. Conclusion and Implications

In Chapter 1 and 2, the current status of SMEs and financial markets of Indonesia and Korea, as well as the SME policy finance of both countries, were introduced. If you look mainly at the credit guarantee scheme of Indonesia, the credit guarantee corporation of cooperative associations (LJKK: Lemgaga Janinan Kredit Koperasi) was established in 1970 to support the self-help cooperative association of farmers, to be the first of guarantee scheme. In 1971, the government established the credit insurance corporation (PT.Askrindo: PT.Asuransi Kredit Indonesia) to provide credit guarantees for SMEs other than cooperative associations, so that Indonesia’s guarantee scheme developed into two organizations. Afterwards, based on the government decree No.51 of 1981, the development finance corporation of cooperative associations (Perum PKK: Perm Pengembangan Keuangan Koperasi) was established to integrate with the existing guarantee corporation of cooperative associations, so that Perum PKK transformed into the development finance corporation (Perum SPU: Perum Sarana Pengembangan Usaha) in 2000, to supply guarantees to SMEs other than cooperative associations and also handle direct loans. After 2007, in order to overcome the global financial crisis, the role of guarantee

institutions was strengthened, while the name of Perum SPU was changed to credit guarantee corporation (Perum Jamkrindo) to the present.

If you look at the history of Indonesia’s credit guarantee institutions, the credit guarantee fund was established in 1976 and the history of establishing guarantee institutions is longer than Korea, which launched the guarantee scheme in full scale. However, the role of SME guarantee scheme started fully in guarantee supports focusing on agriculture and cooperative associations only after 2008 when the current credit guarantee corporation (Perum Jamkrindo) was established. Meanwhile, the credit insurance corporation (PT. Askrindo) maintained its name at the time of establishment, but after going through the insolvency of subrogation twice in 1984 and 1995, operations were expanded to commercial guarantees and credit insurances, including payment guarantees, surety bonds and credit insurances on import credits, while policy guarantees are nonexistent except for the KUR program that began after 2008. Also, excluding the policy guarantee of KUR, the operations of the credit guarantee corporation (Jamkrindo) mostly supplied private guarantees of marketability, such as multi-purpose guarantees. In other words, the role of guarantee institutions got confusing between the commercial function and the public function, so that the identity became unclear and weakened the function of policy guarantees compared to the history of guarantee scheme. Also, there was a lack of development in its own guarantee scheme because of the method of supplying consignment guarantees through commercial banks, making it difficult to accumulate SME credit information and acquire credit check data due to no credit rating system and insufficient computerization of direct loans.

Meanwhile, the guarantee fees of KUR as the policy guarantee receive 100% government support, and taking into consideration that the burden on the government will increase, it was necessary to allocate appropriate costs of managing guarantee schemes of the government, financial institutions and SMEs, by applying the benefit principle on financial institutions and enterprises to ensure the sustainability of guarantee schemes. Also, since the guarantee scheme started from the guarantee corporation of cooperative associations (LJKK) as the former organization of Jamkrindo, it has combined the support for primary industries like the agriculture fishing industry and the support for SMEs in manufacturing and wholesale and retail industries, making it necessary to provide supports through choice and concentration to achieve efficiency in industrial policy purposes, besides the financial policy purpose of guarantee institutions.

3.2. Policy Recommendations

① Reorganization of credit guarantee institutions and increase policy functions focusing on Jamkrindo

Since Indonesia’s guarantee institutions focus on pursuing profit, they seem to have vague identity between policy financial institution and private company. If you compare the purpose establishment between the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) and Jamkrindo, in the case of Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT), the main purpose is “contributing to national economy through the development of SME finance.” On the other hand, one of the purposes of establishing Jamkrindo is to create profits and benefits for shareholders and stakeholders.

Even in the comparison with other guarantee institutions that operate public guarantee schemes in Asian region, Jamkrindo showed very high profitability with the net profit and loss ratio exceeding 250%. However, two-thirds (66%) of guarantee fee incomes, which is the major source of profits, depend on the government’s guarantee fee support by supplying policy guarantees (KUR).

The Indonesian government should concentrate the role of policy guarantees mainly on Jamkrindo, which is the largest credit guarantee institution existing, while transferring commercial guarantees to Askrindo, to clarify the identity of Jamkrindo and develop it into the core organization of SME policy finance. Meanwhile, taking into consideration of the regional characteristics of Indonesia with over 17,000 islands all across the region, the current 10 regional credit guarantee institutions should be increased to 33 major provinces, so that the regional guarantee institution is established and developed by province. In order to ensure the credibility of guarantee institutions, it is necessary to increase guarantee supply channels that utilize regional financial institutions and regional credit guarantee funds, by expanding resources of finance from the central government and making reguarantees by Jamkrindo. In case of Korea, KODIT and KOTEC used to produce re-guarantee services, but as CGFs were enlarged, KOREG started to do re-guarantee services in order to resolve inconvenience from the dual re-guarantee systems in 2004 and supported CGFs financial soundness.

Also, since Askrindo has similar characteristics like Korea’s Seoul Guarantee Insurance (SGI), it seems more reasonable to reduce the government’s shares and privatize it in the long run.

② Establish the credit guarantee part separately for agriculture and fishing industry within Jamkrindo

Also, in order to efficiently support primary industries like agriculture, it is more efficient to apply choice and concentration to have the credit guarantee function of agriculture and fishing industry separately under Jamkrindo’s affiliate or in a separate part, allowing the development of the separate xamination function of credit guarantees. In the case of Korea, in order to support primary industries, the Credit Guarantee Fund for Farmers and Fishermen was established separately within the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF), to develop separately from the SME support system. For reference on the operation status of the Credit Guarantee Fund for Farmers and Fishermen, separate data has been attached. As shown below in the figure, if you look at the appearance after the reorganization of credit guarantee institutions, it shows that efficient supports are possible through choice and concentration and clarifying the composition of SMEs in Indonesia according to business areas.

③ Reduce the interest rate of policy guarantee loans by adopting the prevention of charging credit add-on interest rates

In the case of the KUR Micro Program, the separate credit rating investigation can be omitted, but the high interest rate of 22% close to twice that of general loans is charged. As for guarantee rates, taking into consideration of the high risks in the non-guarantee part from the bank’s point of view with 80% for primary industries and 70% for others, it is partially reasonable that interest rates are high. However, taking into consideration that the credit add-on interest rates on guarantees are the guarantee of government agencies, it is necessary to apply limitation. In the case of Korea, credit add-on interest rates on the guarantee of guaranteed loans are strictly limited, so that during the payment by subrogation, it is regulated in provisions not to pay for credit add-on interest rates of guarantees. Also, in the case of KUR Ritel, financial institutions avoid risks by acquiring separate collaterals on the non-guarantee part. It is necessary to complement the risks of financial institutions by prohibiting the charging of credit add-on interest rates on guarantees to increase the guarantee rates of policy guarantees instead of reducing interest rates. If it is easy to acquire credit information and conduct credit rating evaluation, it may be possible to differentiate guarantee rates like in Korea, but at the current stage of Indonesia, it

is necessary to enhance the productivity of guarantees to sufficiently cover the risks of financial institutions. After the establishment of the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT), Korea operated the full guarantee scheme, but after the 2000s introduced partial guarantees when the accumulation of SME credit information and the SME loans of financial institutions increased. Currently, the average guarantee rate is around 87% where the productivity of guarantees is maintained by complementing the risks of financial institutions through direct guarantee examination.

④ Ensure sustainability through appropriate allocation of financial resources including adopting the financial institution contribution system, etc.

The allocation of financial resources for Indonesia’s guarantee scheme includes 100% government contribution and guarantee fee support. If you look at from the concept of loss ratio of insurance companies, Jamkrindo’s loss ratio (payment by subrogation/guarantee fees) for the recent three-year average is around 44.8%~50%, while showing very good loss ratio to guarantee fee revenues. On the other hand, the government’s budget requirement exceeded the initial allocation amount after 2011, showing rapid increase in the amount of execution. After 2008, the Indonesian government expanded the credit guarantee scheme targeting all SMEs to continuously increase guarantee supplies and secure the sustainability of

guarantee scheme in the future, enabling the government, financial institutions and enterprises to appropriately allocate financial resources through adopting the financial institution contribution system and the conglomerate contribution guarantee program like Korea. In the example shown below, it has been suggested that commercial banks make 0.3% of contributions on corporate loans for Jamkrindo’s SME part, while rural banks make 0.1% of contributions for agriculture part and commercial banks make 0.1% of contributions on regional credit guarantee institutions.

As a unique system developed in Korea, the financial institution contribution system is regulated by the Credit Guarantee Fund Act as the basis for the bank’s contributions. The cost-benefit analysis result of Korea’s financial institution contribution system after the establishment of KODIT showed that the total amount of the payment by subrogation and the loan-deposit margin profit was 2.6 times that of the total amount of the bank’s contributions to KODIT and the loss in the non-guarantee part of guaranteed loans, showing the benefits of increasing the bank’s SME loans was much higher. The transformation process of the financial institution contribution system is explained in detail in attachment.

⑤ Conduct the digitization and informatization of operations and adopt credit rating system

Jamkrindo supplies more than 80% of guarantees through the method of conditional automatic cover (CAC) in the form of consignment guarantees, and there is no separate credit rating system by leaving investigations and evaluations to the bank’s discretion, except for the basic agreement conditions with the bank. In the case of case by case cover for direct loans, if the score exceeds 70 points through the evaluation of checklists, there is a scoring system that determines whether or not to issue guarantees through the pass or non-pass method. In order for Jamkrindo to actively supply SME policy finance by increasing its role as policy guarantee institution to adopt the financial institution contribution system and strengthening cooperation with private banks, it is necessary for guarantee institutions to examine the credit rating of enterprises on their own and have the ability to accumulate credit information. To achieve this, the SME credit information should be accumulated through the digitalization and informatization of operations first, including direct loans, while also developing a credit rating system through the accumulated credit information and examination materials in the future. In the case of KODIT, it supplied guarantees through a scoring system like Jamkrindo before 2001, but developed the Corporate Credit Rating System (CCRS) in 2001 to be operated to the present. Based on the operating experience and know-how until now, in order to export it the CCRS to guarantee institutions in Vietnam and Kazakhstan this year, orders have been received for system consulting. In the second stage of the program in the future, the

transfer and informatization of the CCRS under the cooperation with the Indonesian government and guarantee institutions will take place, to seek increased cooperation though practical business development in the one-time policy recommendation. Also KODIT has been conducting credit insurance services since 1997. It plays a role of social safety net by enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs as well as preventing from chained-bankruptcy of SMEs due to bad debt. After the guarantee scheme becomes stable, it makes sense to exanimate the introduction of sales receivable insurance services
