Abstract

In an uncertain economic situation like now, the MSME’s sector is still believed to be a supporting force for the national economy. They are said to be the cogs of the Indonesian economy. In fact, this sector is said to have contributed greatly to the development and growth of this country. From the above description, it must be admitted that the MSME’s sector has indeed become a mainstay in absorbing labor, substituting for consumption, or semi-finished products. Naturally, if the government is very concerned about ensuring that micro and small businesses continue to run and get stronger even in uncertain economic conditions. To support MSME’s to become economic drivers, the government has planned to issue a stimulus for MSME’s. With the stimulus, it is hoped that it will encourage the growth of competitive MSMEs during pandemic Covid-19 by cash fund transferred who called “ BLT” in Indonesia means “Bantuan Langsung Tunai” a cash transfer direct to MSME’s sector, the problem is the threat above the stimulus given are the spreading of covid -19 virus that haunted among BLT receiver, the system that not supported the covid-19 handling, a thousand BLT receiver are gathered in every city in Indonesia, the question is are this effective in empowering SME’s, or become a threat to their lives?
