Course content

The course provides knowledge on how to manage Islamic microfinance institutions (LKMS) which have an important role in improving the economy. Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) have reached almost 51.2 million units and 99.9% of business actors in the Bahasa economy are dominated by micro and small business units. MFIs can be regarded as one of the important pillars in the financial intermediation process needed by small and medium-sized communities for consumption and production as well as storing their business results. This course discusses how to identify, evaluate, measure and manage LKMS, as well as how to improve LKMS performance. Analysis of international journals will also be carried out in the form of paper presentations that have been determined.
