JAKARTA – As a Minister of Finance (Menkeu), Sri Mulyani is known to have an extensive professional network in various countries and regions. This ability cannot be separated from her experience since she has been studying in the United States (US) since she was young.
On one occasion, the Minister of Finance shared his story during his stay in the US. At that time, in the early 2000s he and his family settled in Atlanta, Georgia. About a week after arriving, the September 11 terrorist attack took the whole world by surprise.
"We've only been here for about a week. That day I took my son to school, then came home and turned on the television. There, I saw that there was an accident or terrorist attack in New York which became known as the September 11 incident,” she said through an online channel while giving a keynote speech at the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) 3rd Legal Forum activity, Thursday, March 31.
Not long after the incident, he then moved to Washington DC. In the US capital, he received a special mission from the Indonesian government. He said the move was indirectly related to the events of September 11 last.
"Since then, many things have changed, including two years later I was asked by the Indonesian government to move to Washington DC to become the Executive Director of the IMF," she said.

In the early days of his assignment, he did not realize that the position he occupied had a very strategic role.
“That's when I realized that the September 11 attacks had a lot of impact. In forums such as the IMF, there are many discussions about money laundering. It turns out that money laundering is not only a threat to the economy and finances but has also come to threaten human life in the form of financing for terrorism," she said.
For this reason, he welcomes the initiative of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) to continue to make efforts to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.
"I believe that through the leadership of the PPATK with all ministries/agencies and especially from law enforcement officers and financial sector regulators, we can continue to prevent the occurrence of criminal acts of money laundering and terrorism financing," closed the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani.
