The Role of Bank Indonesia in Strengthening the Halal Product Ecosystem Through the Ikra Program
Keywords:
Creative Industry, Islamic Economy, Halal ProductsAbstract
The halal creative industry has emerged as one of the leading sectors with strong potential to drive the growth of the national Islamic economy. However, creative entrepreneurs continue to face challenges in product development, marketing, and access to financing. In response, Bank Indonesia (BI) launched the Industri Kreatif Syariah Indonesia (IKRA) Program as a form of structured assistance. This paper explores the profile of the IKRA initiative, its mentoring processes for business actors, and the Program's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges. The objective is to evaluate BI's contribution in strengthening the halal creative industry ecosystem. The study aims to provide insights for industry players, policymakers, and academics to optimise the potential of the halal creative sector. Through the IKRA Program, it is expected that a creative industry will emerge that is not only innovative and competitive but also adheres to Islamic principles—thereby reinforcing Indonesia’s position within the global creative economy.References
