The fate of textile companies in Indonesia is currently looking very sad because usually from 3-6 months before Eid al-Fitr factories and textile products are usually busy serving high levels of demand so that employees have to work overtime because their machines have to be operated day and night. However, this year it appears that such a thing has not happened, so that the factory's production utility is only around 60 percent and the use of truck and driver transportation equipment will of course also be significantly reduced.

Of course, this situation cannot be separated from the lack of demand from buyers, both from within and outside the country, especially since the domestic market is currently being flooded with imported products, both those that enter legally or illegally.

The flood of imported products cannot be separated from the problem of prices where the price of these imported goods is cheaper than domestic products.

In addition, there are also garment factories that are experiencing quite severe problems because their export turnover, especially abroad, has decreased sharply due to the impact of Covid-19 and inflation experienced by these importing countries.

As a result, due to the accumulation of these problems, a situation that we really don't want occurs where the company is forced to rationalize so that Termination of Employment (PHK) occurs.

This of course will clearly encourage an increase in the unemployment rate so that in aggregate it will certainly affect people's purchasing power. Therefore we expect:

First: The government should be able to reduce the import faucet except for goods that cannot be produced domestically.

Second: We hope that people will love and buy domestically produced goods more.

Third: The government should be able to increase spending, especially to buy domestic products, especially to buy goods from the business sector which is currently really hit.

Fourth, so that Muslims who are classified as able to pay their zakat in accordance with the provisions determined by religion and increase their infaq and alms so that the amount of money circulating in society will increase.

So that people's purchasing power in aggregate will stretch so that factory machines will return to operation, labor recruitment will increase, unemployment will decrease and people's purchasing power will certainly be able to recover so that national economic life will return to developing dynamically according to what we have planned. expect.
