Abstract

This study looks into how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the revenue of Indonesia's West Sumatra Province's micro and small industries (MSI). Ordinary least square analysis is used in the study methodology taking into account classical assumption tests for heteroscedasticity and multicollinearity. This research data is in the form of panel data from 2018 to 2020 covering 19 regencies and cities. The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative and considerable effect on West Sumatra Province's revenue from MSI. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the decline in revenue for MSI. The government should actively provide subsidies and assistance to MSI in West Sumatra Province particularly during COVID-19. Implementing various supportive regulations can further ensure the sustainability of MSI.
