Prabowo replaces Finance Minister Purbaya with his deputy
Suahasil Nazara had been deputy finance minister since 2019.
President Prabowo Subianto has replaced Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa with his deputy, Suahasil Nazara. Suahasil Nazara, who has been deputy finance minister since 2019, was among senior officials who attended a swearing-in ceremony. Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa abruptly left a parliamentary hearing on Monday before the change in leadership.
Prabowo has made multiple cabinet changes since assuming office nearly two years ago, with the appointment of Sudaryono as head of the National Nutrition Agency being the latest in July. The move follows the president's decision to sack Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa on Monday.
