ABSTRACT: Microfinance
institutions are well accepted as an effective instrument in alleviating
poverty. In Indonesia, microfinance institutions can be divided into two
categories: (i) bank including BRI (Peoples’ Bank of Indonesia) and BPR (Credit
Union Bank), and (ii) non-bank sectors such as Koperasi, Lembaga Dana dan
Kredit Pedesaan (LDKP) and Badan Kredit Desa (BKD). LDKP gets formal
legalizations from local government, while BKD supervised by BRI has also
formal status from local government. Based on Surat Keputusan Bersama (SKB)
published by four ministries, BKD should be transformed into three forms: BPR,
Koperasi or Rural Government Enterprise (Badan Usaha Milik Desa/BUMdes).This
paper provides background research for potential policies to contain BKD in
dealing to institutional transformation and discusses (i) key indicators
influencing microfinance institutional transformation, (ii) BKD practices
associated with microfinance institutional regulations. An institutional
economics framework suitable for analyzing these problems is developed and
presented. Based on interviews, BKD transformations depend on five indicators:
(i) instrument capitalization, (ii) decision process, (iii) business
orientation, (iv) relationship with costumers and (v) business plan. There are
three options in terms of BKD regulation. First, there are lack of capital and
human resources, when BKD should be transformed into BPR or Koperasi. Second,
when there is no change in BKD practices, local government (PEMDA) should be
active in monitoring and evaluation to minimize moral hazard evidence. Third,
when purpose of transformation is empowering BKD, transformation should be
viewed as a long-term process, where BKD assosiation will play a crusial role
in BKD practices.
