The Gernas BBI Team is under the authority of, and is responsible to, the President. 
 
Article 3 of the Decree stipulates that the tasks of the team are as follows: First, carrying out activities to achieve the Gernas BBI goals, including increasing the number of MSMEs/IKM and creative economy businesses in the digital ecosystem; increasing the number of sales or purchases of local products; increasing people’s purchasing power, expanding markets, accessing capital, training, collecting data, and accelerating local economic cycles through local product spending; and providing economic stimulus for MSMEs/IKMs and creative economy businesses of the Gernas BBI in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations. Second, synchronizing the Gernas BBI program with the Gernas BBI public campaign. Third, monitoring and evaluating the goals achievement of the Gernas BBI.
