Dr Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Indonesia’s Minister of Finance, returned to Asia House on 7 May to deliver a comprehensive update on the economy as Indonesia enters a period of transition to a new president.
The finance minister briefed a packed audience on macroeconomic, fiscal and structural reform developments in Indonesia and then took part in a wide-ranging Q+A session with Asia House Chief Executive, Michael Lawrence OBE.
Sri Mulyani covered a number of key issues, from the importance of fiscal prudence for the next government to the multiple external factors that Indonesia is navigating, including the impact of geopolitical tensions, persistently high interest rates and volatile commodity prices.
The finance minister, who has been at the forefront of Indonesia’s commitment to sustainability and the climate change agenda, also discussed developments in the provision of green finance after her meetings with multilateral institutions including the ADB and the OECD.
