There is many contributing factors and argumentation on the cause of this continuing poverty. But, financial crisis in Indonesia which is triggered by the economic crisis in mid 1997 is one of the major factors. Following this crisis, almost all the economic actors get affected. However, although most of the big entrepreneurs hits by the crisis, different situation occurred to the cooperatives & Small Medium Enterprises (SME's) institutions in Indonesia. The crisis surely hit them too in matter of fact, however most of the cooperatives & SMEs able to survived, especially those which have the core activity and businesses in commodity exports due from gaining extras rupiahs from rupiah depreciation against the U.S. Dollar.
