JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani gave a response regarding rumors linking her to become Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) this year. He conveyed this when holding a press conference on the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK) in Jakarta today.
The Minister of Finance revealed that he did not care about the current news. On the other hand, the state treasurer chose to focus on the number of tasks being carried out now.
"Focus on doing what is in KSSK because this is the main task," he said in response to questions from the media crew on Tuesday, January 31.
According to the Minister of Finance, the issue did not hinder all components of the KSSK, consisting of the Ministry of Finance (government), Bank Indonesia (BI), the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS), to build synergies to maintain the national economy.
"Regarding the Governor of Bank Indonesia, it has been regulated in the law," he added. If it is true that Sri Mulyani is willing to become the number one person in the central bank, she will follow in the footsteps of Agus Dermawan Wintarto Martowardojo who became the Governor of BI in 2013 when she was still Minister of Finance.
For information, in the Law (UU) Bank Indonesia and the Law on Strengthening and Development of the Financial Sector (P2SK) requires BI gubernatorial candidates to be submitted by the President to the DPR.
The head of state can nominate a maximum of three names to take part in the fit and proper test in parliament. Meanwhile, the term of office of Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo will be completed in May.
