Why Palace Is Confident New Finance Minister Will Succeed
Two reasons explain why the palace is confident Suahasil Nazara can deliver as Indonesia's new finance minister.
Jakarta - Government Communications Agency head Muhammad Qodari expressed confidence that new Finance Minister Suahasil Nazara would succeed in maintaining Indonesia's economic growth. Qodari praised Suahasil's academic credentials and experience in the finance sector. He noted that the Finance Minister, formerly deputy finance minister, already understands the Ministry's workings due to his six to seven years in the position.
Qodari highlighted the importance of the state budget, APBN, as a tool to drive the economy while maintaining stability. President Prabowo Subianto recently reshuffled his cabinet, promoting Suahasil from deputy finance minister to finance minister, with Suahasil vowing to uphold the state budget's credibility and health.
