JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive revealed that during his leadership in the first month he felt very congested and full of dynamics.
He even likened one month in office to a year because of his intense routine.
"When I served as Minister of Finance for a month, I felt like it was a year. The important thing is that I feel like it's been a long time. So I keep meeting you (journalists) every day," he said at the Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta, Wednesday, October 8.
For information, Purbaya was inaugurated as Minister of Finance on September 8, 2024, replacing Sri Mulyani Indrawati.
From the first day, he was immediately faced with various problems, ranging from adjustments to fiscal policies, internal reforms at the Ministry of Finance, to global pressure on the national economy.
