Pertamina's Pinky Movement Distribution Reaches Almost IDR 22 Billion  

Jakarta, September 18, 2020 - The distribution value of Pertamina's Pinky Movement Partnership Program continues to increase significantly. Until mid-September 2020, the value of the distribution has reached almost IDR 22 billion. This program continues to target outlets and MSME users of subsidized LPG to improve their competence and business development.

Vice President of Corporate Communication of Pertamina, Fajriyah Usman, said that the Pinky Movement is a business capital loan program. It is for MSMEs LPG outlets to develop their business by selling non-subsidized LPG and MSMEs using subsidized LPG who wish to switch to using non-subsidized LPG according to their designation. Since this program was implemented, the Pinky Movement Program has targeted at least 2000 outlets and 100 small businesses using subsidized LPG with a total distribution target of 102 billion.

According to Fajriyah, apart from financing, the assisted MSMEs will also receive guidance in training and certification assistance needed. The purpose of this coaching is so that the MSME actors can improve their competence, develop their business, and upgrade.

The program, continued Fajriyah, has targeted almost all of Pertamina's operational areas. The distribution is in all areas of the Marketing Operational Region (MOR) from Region 1 to Region 8.

"The Pinky Movement aims to improve the capabilities of MSMEs through business capital loans, MSMEs competence through coaching, and at the same time educate MSMEs to increase awareness in using subsidized LPG according to their designation," said Fajriyah.

The Pinky Movement Partnership Program was launched to support MSMEs. Therefore, they can rise from economic pressure due to the pandemic. It also carries out business coaching and development for the fostered MSMEs.

Pertamina continued Fajriyah, also provides a pattern of mentoring, coaching, targeted training, and providing promotion and market development facilities in the exhibition event. It is one way to assist Pertamina's fostered partners to grow and develop.

"For MSME players interested in participating in the Pinky Movement Partnership Program, they can contact Pertamina 135 by phone or access the website www.pertamina.com/id/program-kemitraan and email: pcc@pertamina.com," she said. **
