THE MINISTRY of Tourism and Creative Economy in collaboration with the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) held a KreatIPO Coaching Clinic activity to identify the initial readiness of business actors in the tourism and creative economy (Parekraf) sectors in carrying out Initial Public Offering (IPO).
According to the Director of Access to Financing of the Tourism Ministry, Anggara Hayun Anujuprana, in a statement received by Indonesia Window here on Wednesday (6/7), said that capital is still one of the big challenges for Parekraf business actors in Indonesia, especially since most of them have intangible assets.
