JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto has appointed his ranks of ministers and deputy ministers to cooperate with him in the Red and White Cabinet.

There was a change in the list of coordinating ministries which previously numbered four during the Jokowi administration. Currently, there are seven coordinating ministries and one of the permanent coordinating ministries, namely the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy which is still led by Airlangga Hartarto.

Therefore, there is a change in the technical ministry whose coordination is under the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy. This is in line with the absence of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment. Thus, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (ESDM), the Ministry of Investment, and the Ministry of Tourism coordination are included in the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy.

This is based on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No 139/2024 concerning the Arrangement of Tasks and Functions of the Ministry of State for the Red and White Cabinet for the period 2024-2029.

As for Article 26 of the Presidential Regulation. The Coordinating Ministry for the Economy is currently recorded to coordinate 8 ministries, namely the Ministry of Manpower, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Agency (BKPM), Ministry of Tourism, and other agencies deemed necessary.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu), the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of ATR/BPN are currently not registered as institutions coordinating with the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy.

Previously, these ministries were under the coordination of the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy based on Presidential Decree No. 67/2019 concerning the Implementation of Tasks and Functions of the Ministry of State of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet for the 2019-2024 Period.
