Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of independent variables, such as SME economic policies, political stability, funding access, regulatory changes, economic growth and policy uncertainty on SME performance leading up to the 2024 presidential election in Indonesia. This research employs a quantitative approach with regression analysis methodology. Data was collected through a survey using Google Form from SME owners in 29 districts and nine cities in East Java province. The research findings indicate that SME economic policies, political stability and economic growth have a positive and significant impact on SME performance. Meanwhile, funding access and policy uncertainty do not significantly affect SME performance. Regulatory changes also have a positive and significant impact on SME performance. These findings hold critical implications for the development of the SME ecosystem in Indonesia. In the context of an evolving economy, this research provides a solid foundation for decisionmaking in designing more effective policies. Additionally, the government’s involvement in creating a stable and conducive environment for supporting, advancing and developing the SME sector, which is a vital pillar of the Indonesian economy, is highlighted.
