Abstract

The arrival of the Covid-19 Pandemic was never imagined at all. Moreover, then this pandemic swept across the world. There is almost no country that is not affected by this pandemic. The first patient announced by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, came from Depok, on March 2, 2020. Since that day, positive cases of Covid-19 have caught the attention of all Indonesians, because the number continues to grow rapidly from day to day. One of the groups of people affected by this pandemic is Micro and Small Business Enterprises (MSBEs). Automatically, when people’s activities outside the home are limited, their need for various MSBE products will decrease. As a result, the life and contribution of MSBEs to the community’s economy are also affected. This research was conducted using descriptive methods. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires in google form format, through various MSBE communities in NTB. The research objectives were (1) to determine how far the impact felt by MSBEs as a result of this pandemic; (2) to find out whether there are benefits felt by MSBE actors when they become members of an association (association) based on MSBEs. The impacts they experience are related to income, the imposition of layoffs, and changes in production models or systems. The results of this study indicate that in general most of the MSBEs are affected by this pandemic; In addition, the involvement of MSBEs in associations has an influence on their business performance. Therefore, it is suggested that in this pandemic situation the government can play a more active role, so that the performance of MSBEs can continue to grow and contribute to the economic growth of the community.
